disks allways come up read only, you must remount it rw in rc.sysinit
(or a followup script) (rc.sysinit might be called rcS in your case)

just use

mount -o remount,rw /

this only wokrs if proc has been mounted or you have a correct /dev/root
entry in dev (in this case just use mount -o remount,rw /dev/root).
BTW: /dev/root comes free with devfs :-)
