Do you have an entry for the root file system in its /etc/fstab file? If not,
the root file system will never be mounted read/write.
For example
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
substituting the correct device for /dev/sda1 and the correct file system type
(of necessary) for ext3.
You can also use a volume label or UUID instead of a device name, which is
useful if you start moving drives around.
