I just double checked bsd.rd from amd64 snapshot, and it seems that both,
bsd.rd from installer and "single mode" has ed which is text editor.

Let me quote man fsck(8):
It is normally used in the script rc(8) during automatic reboot. If no
file systems are specified, fsck reads the file fstab(5) to determine
which file systems to check and in what order. Only partitions in fstab
that are mounted “rw” or “ro” and that have non-zero pass numbers are
checked. File systems with pass number 1 (normally just the root file
system) are checked one at a time.
