And if fsck couldn't be stopped by Ctrl-C this would be an upstream
issue and has nothing to do with Arch's initscripts
anyway. The only thing /etc/rc.sysinit does is to call fsck.

Btw., as far as I know it's not necessary to set fs_passno to >0 for
journalling file systems because they have such a feature included so
that they detect if a file system wasn't cleanly unmounted and fix it
by themselves. At least I hadn't had any problems with ext3 and
fs_passno=0 yet.
