If $CONSOLE is set to an incorrect problem, this is probably an
initscripts problem.  It's certainly not an e2fsck or fsck problem


It is to a certain extent. If $CONSOLE is incorrect, the user will see a 
message that he is supposed to log in now and manually fix the problem, 
but the boot process continues normally, mounting the inconsistent 
filesystems read/write as the next step.


I'd have no problem with the boot process stopping entirely if sulogin 
fails, probably with an explanatory message.
