It already does this. The only time the auto-fsck will stop for user
input is if there is a non-correctable error. Note that with ext2/ext3
there will be a forced fsck after a period of time or a number of
reboots even if there's nothing wrong with the filesystem. You can set
those intervals when the filesystem is first created or change them
using mtune.
On a headless system I *strongly* recommend a journalled filesystem so
that the auto-fsck just replays the log.
