Unless I miss my guess, you've booted into single-user mode. Boot 
multi-user, log in as root, and hack away. Alternatively, there is a 
mount command (which I don't remember at the moment), which will remount 
the filesystem read-write in single user mode, but I think the first way 
is the "right" way to do things.
