I installed gentoo in a vbox vm as guest. |
2 |
|
3 |
It boots successfully but is mounted write protected. |
4 |
|
5 |
I didn't see anything in dmesg that I recognized as pointing to the |
6 |
problem. |
7 |
|
8 |
Thought it might be a timing issue during boot processes and so tried |
9 |
to remount rw with `mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda3 /' with the message |
10 |
that it cannot since it is write protected. |
11 |
|
12 |
Suspected some doltishness on my part in /etc/fstab, but if so I could |
13 |
not see it. Cannot run sshd since it requires writing the keys etc so |
14 |
sshd will not start. |
15 |
|
16 |
I can log in as root and my user but cannot make any changes. |

How can I go about finding the source of the problem? |
