Ah, ok, thanks. Funny thing, Debian on these machines had no trouble, it mounted fine in rw mode right after boot. I'll try this tommorrow as I have other stuff to work on tonight (papers, ug) or after break.
As for the Ingo thing -- maybe. The problem is that the last name of Molnar is not very popular in this country, in central Europe (Hungry, frmr Czechoslovakia, etc) the name is _very_ popular. The translation is roughly Miller and is as popular as Smith in England. So, maybe (that would be quite cool), but, probably not :).

Solaris does the same thing. I believe its a PROM/bootloader thing. It mounts the / fs ro, and then remounts it rw. I believe that you have to emulate that behavior to get your disk rw. Here's the /etc/mnttab from my Blade 100:
# cat mnttab
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs rw,intr,largefiles,onerror=panic,suid,dev=2200000 1037569789
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 /usr ufs rw,intr,largefiles,onerror=panic,suid,dev=2200006 1037569789
/proc /proc proc dev=3900000 1037569785
fd /dev/fd fd rw,suid,dev=3a00000 1037569790
mnttab /etc/mnttab mntfs dev=3ac0000 1037569791
swap /var/run tmpfs dev=1 1037569791
swap /tmp tmpfs dev=2 1037569792
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /export/home ufs rw,intr,largefiles,onerror=panic,suid,dev=2200007 1037569792

You will most likely have to boot from a CD and edit /etc/mnttab to look somewhat like the following. I made the email HTML so you could see the whole line without it breaking. HTH.
P.S. Are you any relation to Ingo?
