Forget "quiet", it's whether "fsck.mode=skip" is the last thing on the kernel command line.
There is no disk check if there is something after "fsck.mode=skip". I tried "quiet". Then I tried "nomodeset" instead.
I tried putting a blank at the end of the line. That was *not* enough to make the "fsck" stop the disk check. I was using the GRUB2 editor, so maybe it would have worked if I really added a blank at the end of the line in the grub.cfg file.
Also, Ctrl-C does *not* abort the disk check. Given the way the display crawled through a flock of files before saying it was on squashfs, I'm pretty sure I hit the Ctrl-C before it had started on squashfs -- It just did not pay attention.
