After I ran edlabel and copied the miniroot by saying

ssh: dd if=/mnt/miniroot of=dev/rsd0b bs=32k (the online instructions say to 
use bs=32k whereas the installation manual says bs=8k),

I rebooted the 3/50 using the recently created miniroot:

>b sd(0,0,1) -s

Now, when I try to run the install program, or write to the miniroot disk 
for that matter, I get a message saying it is a read-only filesystem.  
What may be wrong and how can I correct that?  BTW, /etc/fstab found in 
the miniroot looks like this:

/dev/sd0b / ufs rw 1 1

which seems to me to say the partition /dev/sd0b can be written to.  Am I 
missing something here?
