there are a few chunks of the file space you need to have writable,
from memory the list is:
/etc
/var
/tmp (can always be a symlink to /var/tmp)
/home (unless you don't have any users... i.e. kiosk machines)
beyond that everything *should* be able to be ro, iirc.
personally I'd like to get /etc out of that list, mtab is just one place
I ran into when I tried this a long time ago.

Today's opto-mechanical digital interfaces are just too slow!
