At the time I was doing this, I couldn't remember the syntax used by 
mount and fsck. Now that I've had a chance to print a copy of their man
pages to keep handy, I'll take another whack at it.  (If at first you 
don't succeed... =)  Umm, and I just thought of something: Would the
single-user boot option cause it to go read-only instead of what the
INSTALL doc indicates?  Dunno why I had that clicked, but I think I did.
Apologies if I just answered my own question...
