That jives with what I'm (slowly) finding on Google as well. It seems
the kernel uses /dev/root when the rootfs is RO. Apparently an initrd
would solve this. Grr...


It is remounted rw after the fschk using fstab options.  If you change 
the options, you'll see they will apply (why would noatime apply otherwise.)


You don't need an initrd.
