Right, right.  Ignore my previous comment about not building fstab.  I
was thinking something else.

This one is easy.  Normally the bootloader sets root to ro, but the
fstab entry is for rw, so the init scripts remount it rw.  Now, if you
want to force the init scripts to not remount it, then it needs to state
ro in fstab.
