Is this a serious no-no?

I see this breaks make installworld... :\ Complains about / being read-only, and naturally there is no way for me to remount it r/w with the system being up... :( And a rescue CD kinda defeats the object of rebuilding from source... :(

So, would I do best to reinstall this machine with a proper FS layout before putting it into production?
