My manager reminds me that "in the old Sun days", the ssh server came up first, *before* the fsck on boot, so that if there was a problem, and fsck was waiting for an answer, you could remotely ssh in, kill it, restart it, and answer (or give it the right flags).
not on any Sun I've ever seen. fsck happens before TCP or much of anything else
maybe he's confusing the serial consoles of the Sun's, which were usually attached to Console servers that you could ssh into ?
