Peter,

   I think your objective can be accomplished by editing the '/etc/fstab'
file. Let's assume that you want your r/w partition as '/dev/hda1', and you
want your r/o partition as '/dev/hda2'.  OK, make the entries as follows in
your '/etc/fstab' file:

/dev/hda1    /                    ext2    defaults    1    1
/dev/hda2    /drive2          ext2    ro,auto      1    1

    This may not be exactly what you want to do (I suspect you want to mount
the r/o partition alongside th r/w partition as your root file-system).  If
you do want to mount the r/w partition and the r/o partitions as the root
file-system, please locate the multi-disk HOWTO:

Hope this info helps,

Allan
