This is a bug in the sun3 machine independent install script.  It is
failing to make the root filesystem writeable because of the existance of
a file named /tmp/.root_writeable, which wasn't erased when you rebooted.

Try doing the following, and then run the install script immediately
afterwards:

/sbin/mount_kernfs /kern /kern
/sbin/mount -u /kern/rootdev /
