People,
   There's a line in the code for mount.c that I think says

SYS_CONF_MOUNT(mountpt, MSUID|M_NODEV, args) or something similar, I can't
quite remember. 

   The mount protocol says that the middle argument above specifies the
mounted system as read only if the lower-order bit is 1. You have to go in
there and adjust the line. I did a bitwise AND with 0xFFFFE, and it stopped giving
me that read-only error. Of course that only introduced new errors ( the argument structures
suddenly started having negative UIDs, but that's another story).
 
  Femi.
