Hello
I have a system setup as a black box. If the system is powered
off accidentally, and upon powering on the system keeps rebooting
after trying to do the file system consistency check. The file
system message is to run "ef2fsck -v -y <partition>. Is there
anyway to force this check at lilo prompt?
Thanks for any help.

That's what journaled filesystems like ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, and JFS are for.

You can modify the init scripts to search for an init arg. Most init scripts
check for /forchecheck. For an embedded box it is MUCH better to have the
filesystem readonly or at least use a journaled FS.
