You could probably have run vi if you had done:

 mount -a

...first.  This gets the file systems mounted per /etc/fstab.  (E.g.,
/ was probably mounted read-only when you tried to run vi, because you
were in single-user mode.  "mount -a" will remount it rw, per your
/etc/fstab.  Also, /usr may not have been mounted, and "mount -a" will
make sure that that's mounted, too.)

I hope that that helps.
