No need to put it in rc.boot. After running that command, reboot and type
tune2fs -l /dev/hdXX where XX is your partition. You will see what I mean.

Sorry. Typo. It is indeed -c.

>From man tune2fs :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-c max-mount-counts
              adjust  the  maximal  mounts  count   between   two
              filesystem checks.

 -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
              adjust the  maximal  time  between  two  filesystem
              checks.   No  postfix  or  d  result  in days, m in
              months, and w in weeks.  A value of zero will  dis­
              able the timedependent checking.

-C mount-count
              set the number of times  the  filesystem  has  been
              mounted.

  -l     list the contents of the filesystem superblock.
