In case of doubt, use the default, /bin/sh.

Yes, that's fine.  It's not mounted yet.  First you need to fsck the
file systems.  For example:

  # fsck -y /
  # fsck -y /usr
  # exit

If you get another "automatic fsck failed" message, note the name of
the file system and do the same again with it.
