when starting tc with the boot code of checkfs, fsck simply shows the help file and booting completes normally. fsck appears to be failing because of the -C option without a file descriptor named. "fsck -C [device]" fails, but "fsck -C stdout [device]" works. also "shutdown -r now" needs to updating to "reboot" in the checkfs section of tc-config (lines 217 and 220)
