Sounds like the busybox version of mount.  It was replaced
in BL 2.02 with the standard mount.

I think fsck is just a front-end for e2fsck (and the other
fs checkers).  Assuming your fs is ext2, e2fsck does the
actual checking.  If you are having a problem with fsck
(but not e2fsck), it may be related to the mounting problem
you mentioned above.  The -A parameter for fsck (used in
/etc/rc.d/rc.S) causes it to walk through /etc/fstab.  If
your (busybox) mount is misbehaving, there may be an 
inconsistency between /etc/fstab and the partitions that
are actually mounted.  Fix your mount problem and this
one may simply disappear.
