Sheevaplug: booting from tftp/nfs has root as read-only

[RuiDC]

Hi,
I am using a Sheevaplug and 8.0-RC1 and I've followed the instructions here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSDMarvell

/etc/exports on my FreeBSD server is set up as follows:
/usr/nfsroot/arm-8-le -mapall=0 -alldirs -network 0.0.0.0 -mask 0.0.0.0

If i access the NFS share from an ubuntu client, it's read/write  but following the above instructions from the sheevaplug, although it boots fine otherwise, the root is mounted read-only.

Any suggestions as to how i can debug and fix this?

Are you running in multiuser?

Does your /etc/fstab allow for RW?

/etc/fstab was fine:
192.168.2.233:/usr/nfsroot/arm-8-le / nfs rw 0 0

but i was running single-user. After using ^D after reading init(8)
it came up read-write.

Thanks,
