if my crusty memory serves when you boot into single user mode with boot -s
'/' is mounted read only. I would infer from your error that "/tmp" is not a
parttion unto itself but just a directory underneath the / partition. Correct?
You'll have to do this:

  mount -u -w /

that should turn writing on for / and make /tmp writable. 

That's my guess.
