4 Right, right. Ignore my previous comment about not building fstab. I

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