Problem with fsck on CURRENT??

I'm not sure if this is a problem or is normal but here it is.

I have an external ATAPI drive that is connected to my machine via
firewire (that case also has a usb2 connection). My system crashed so I
needed to fsck this disk. Now however I start fsck it does not allow me
to answer 'Y' to any of the question - it answer N automatically.

I've tried starting fsck with -y and that seems to do nothing! The
drive is formatted with a UFS2 file system and I have to invoke fsck
like this:

	fsck -t ufs /mnt

Otherwise it claims not to be able to tell what file system type it is?
I'm just wondering is this normal for external drives even if they are
formatted with a native file system? Fsck doesn't act this why with my
internal SCSI drives?
