Boot from installer image into rescue mode and run fsck.

Presumably you are doing this because there is trouble,
and in case of trouble, regular boot with "forced fsck requested"
will just tell you "run fsck by hand" and dump you into single user mode,
which is not as nice as the rescue mode in the installer (no VTs, no job control,
no network, etc).
