You should be able to add a line in /etc/inittab that gets run at
bootup time, pointing to a shell procedure that checks your file
systems.  Like this:

ca::sysinit:/etc/checkall </dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1

Note that there's already an /etc/checkall that's a skeleton.
But just a list of fsck commands for the disks you wish to check
should do the trick.
