How to force fsck on boot?

[Phillip Susi]

Choose rescue mode from the grub prompt at boot time to boot into single 
user mode, or you can switch to single user mode after the system boots 
up by running init 1 ( as root ).  Once in single user mode, you should 
be able to remount the filesystem as read only, fsck it, then reboot.
