Watching my machine boot, the parallel nature of this fsck is now
confusing the output, eg:

Automatic reboot in progress...
** /dev/ad0s1a
** Last Mounted on /
** Root file system
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
de0: enabling 10baseT port
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames

** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups

98429 files, 1812888 used, 2499978 free (181498 frags, 289810 blocks, 4.2% fragmentation)

..

Would people object to fsck printing out either the mountpoint or the
devname (where appropriate) prepending each line of fsck_ffs ?
