What does your /etc/fstab file look like?  What about the
/proc/cmdline content?  I have no clue what is going on, so I thought
it best to try to gather some information. :)

Can you provide the output from 'ls /etc/rcS.d/'?

My best quess would be that the root entry is missing in fstab,
causing no remount to happen, or perhaps /etc/mtab is not updated
because /etc/ is read-only, or something. :)

Happy hacking,
