I'm new at some of this stuff so please bare with me if I've made a stupid 
newbie mistake.
Have a SS5 (110Mhz, 64Mbytes RAM, 9.1Gbytes 10K Compaq HDD) and I've been 
working on getting NetBSD 1.6 on it.  I partitioned the disk out / = 
256Mbytes, swap = 128Mbytes, /usr = remander of HDD (I have since played 
some with different ways of partitioning the disk but this was the most 
ideal way I would like it to be).  After Install I configured rc.conf to 
my liking (simply added hostname info, gateway info, and ifconfig info) 
and I also made sure to change rc_configured=YES.  When I rebooted it 
booted up fine, but mounted / as readonly.  /usr was mounted as rw though 
and I checked the contents of /etc/fstab ('/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1') and it 
looked fine.  So my problem is that I need / to mount as rw.  It is in 
muiltyuser mode because I can login as root but afterwards really cant do 
anything since / is readonly.  I would like to find a solution that 
doesn't mean I have to change or remount / everytime I boot but something 
that will last.  If I've negleted to add some info here please tell me.  
Any help would be appreciated and thanks all.
