You have a slight problem with the root partition. You can't change it to
ext3 while it's mounted (not even read-only), and you can't unmount it.
You'll find you can't even change the kind of ext3 mount it is (ordered,
journaling, writeback) once the kernel mounts it. Don't even try, you run
the risk of damaging your filesystem. Easiest way is to boot to root on
another (spare) partition, change the old /, then reboot to the original
/.
