You might prefer to mount RO to help with unclean shutdowns, and you might like to avoid writes for performance reasons (no swapping, mount noatime, syslogc buffers for any heavy log writes that don't need to stay around forever), but it's not really a requirement of modern CF cards, they last pretty well as it is. > card.

Move it to a separate line, each line is one invocation of ifconfig(8). If this doesn't help and if you're running some nonstandard /etc/netstart, try a normal one.
