At home, my disks are only ext2.
sysfs, procfs and other system fs and /dev/* mount points are not
umounted in /etc/rc0.d/S40umountfs.

By a quick look (I'm not at home), it seems that on my home computer
only ext2 fs are umounted by /etc/rc0.d/S40umountfs.

As I said, the bug doesn't seems reproducible,
but I'll try harder later.

At subsequent boot, the unclean fs were: / /var and /usr,
Checking was done without error messages, so I think no busy
or opened files at time of crash.

Note: at the boot, one filesystem was checked (after 30+x),
I think it was /home. But I really think it is unrelated
(but it means that some of the other fs have a boot count > 30)
