But what are you doing with /dev? I need to mount /dev read-write to
change e.g. on login the permissions on /dev/tty*. And I fear I cannot
put /dev on a different partition, can I (I think I need /dev to mount
other partitions and if I don't have /dev ... :-( )?
The only possibility that I can see for a read-only root file-system
is making my /dev/tty* links to another partition.
