This looks like you don't have an appropriate /etc/fstab in the memory
disk file system.  You could rectify that, or just try
	mount -u /dev/md0a /
instead.  Or maybe
	mount -u -w /dev/md0a /

By default the root file system is mounted read-only by the kernel.
This is to allow fsck (etc) before mounting the file system read-write.
I'm unaware of an easy method to change this default, besides hacking
the /etc/rc script :)
