Ok, thanks for pointing it out, anyway :)

Hm, what do you mean?
I'd gladly let my system fsck in background after boot, but it won't do 
that on a root partition, as mentioned somewhere else on this thread.
However, apart from that, I've set everything up according to this wish 
of mine (i.e. I enabled softupdates and I did not put 
background_fsck="NO" in my /etc/rc.conf).
