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.
