I usually mount everything readonly when I try a new module just
before loading it. It saves a tone of time. All I gotta fsck on the
way back up is /var since it won't mount ro after syslog starts, which
makes sense if you think about it.
mount -ur /
mount -ur /usr
moutn -ur /junk
is what I have in a script. After it succeeds, I do a mount -uwa
which updates all the mounts.
You can also netboot via a ROM on your ethernet card or via floppy,
but I've not done that. The above works well enough for me.
