Either you are booting the machine single user, in which case it is
doing what you are asking it to do, or the system is printing an error 
message to the effect that fsck has failed, and you are ignoring
it. If the root partition *is* read write and you aren't correct,
anything in /etc/rc might be failing in some catastrophic manner.

The error messages that get printed out under such circumstances are
generally pretty explicit.

You will pardon my saying this, but you've posted a couple of messages 
to tech-net and netbsd-users and such that indicate that you haven't
ever read the /etc/rc script to see what it does or read the
documentation or paid any attention to the error messages printed on
boot.
