What do you you mean by "mount" don't work?
I believe  that you can change "/" from "ro" to "rw"

When sysinstall is up can you switch to a different console?
Does sysinstall starts after all the daemons are up? If so do
you have another box you could use to telnet/ssh into this box?

mount -a
This should mount all your entries in /etc/fstab
