2 Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks are always
read-only whether mounted or not. This level precludes tampering
with filesystems by unmounting them, but also inhibits running
newfs(8) while the system is multi-user.
I disagree with Sam that we want to run in [2] -- that would mean that
/var would not be writable, precluding the writing of logs, etc., etc.
to local disk.
Hm? It doesn't mean that mounted file systems are always read-only;
it means that open(2)ed disk partitions are.
