mount -uw / does not work in boot -s

Hi,

if you boot -s on a HEAD and try to mount -uw / it will fail to update
the mount if you do not have a /etc/fstab. The fstab part is the key
to this. With an /etc/fstab everything seems to work just smoothly but
how to touch the fstab if you cannot mount the fs rw?

Neither
 	mount -uw /
 	mount -u -o rw /
 	mount -uw /dev/... /
 	mount -u -o rw /dev/... /

work. The versions with the /dev/... / do not seem to give an error
message but a mount afterwards shows that / is still read-only.

The filesystem was clean upon boot and no fsck was run (I know there
is another problem after fsck I think).
