You really don't want to turn off fsck. Especially if it's a production box.
Second easiest way is to build an initrd image that loads the IEEE1394 and SCSI drivers as the kernel boots. mkinitrd allows specifying modules for inclusion.
Easiest way will be to statically link the needed drivers into the kernel, rather than building them as modules.
