Interesting this!  I've similarly just 'completed' an install and hit a
similar problem.  The two partitions I use (/ and /usr) were mounted fine
when I booted, until after I'd installed some distribution sets.  After that,
booting left me with 'root_partition'(or something) mounted to / as
read-only.  Obviously I could get everything back by
   mount -t ffs /dev/sd0a /         %Surprised this worked, actually!
   mount -t ffs /dev/sd0e /usr
but presumably something has broken somewhere?

Oh, and as a nice easy NetBSD question... if the broke bit stays broke,
where should I put the two above lines so they happen at the right time?

Thanks for any help!
