How do I do that when / is automatically being mounted
read only ?

how can I mount / again when its already mounted ?  When I said single
user, maybe that wasn't the right thing to say.  When I tell it the
root partition (/dev/mirror/gm0s1a), it then asks me to choose a shell
(bin/sh being the default).  When I select the shell it takes me to
a command line where only / is mounted.
