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.
