Before you installworld you should mount your filesystems as
read-write.  Looking at /usr/src/UPDATING you'll see the commands:

        reboot in single user [3]

        [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
                fsck -p
                mount -u /
                mount -a
                cd /usr/src
                adjkerntz -i            # if COMS is wall time

And then `make installworld'.
