The easiest way to do this is to get the latest fsck, umount, and shutdown commands, available in Rik Faith's util-linux package (see Where Are the Linux FTP Archives?). You have to make sure that your /etc/rc*/ scripts use them correctly.
NB: Don't try to check a file system that's mounted read/write. This includes the root partition if you don't see
VFS: mounted root ... read-only |
at boot time. You must arrange to mount the root file system read/only to start with, check it if necessary, and then remount it read/write. Almost all distributions do this. If your's doesn't, read the documentation that comes with util-linux to find out how to do this.
Note that you need to specify the -n option to mount so it won't try to update /etc/mtab, since the root file system is still read-only, and this will otherwise cause it to fail.
