I'm sure your setup is just fine.  Chances are you are in single-user 
mode, though, where the filesystems are mounted read-only.  You just need 
to type exit and the system will boot into multi-user mode where the 
filesystems are usually mounted read-write.

Take a look at the FAQ (http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/) 
for a more indepth reply to this one (or so I seem to remember).

Later.
