The two problems are independent.

For the BAD SUPERBLOCK problem let fsck fix things first.  There are 
options to use alternate superblocks if necessary.  If fsck can't 
then you may want to reinstall with the regular kernal instead of the 
'SBC one.

For the read-only "problem" that's a "feature"!  You want to do the 
fsck before you mount the filesystem read/write or things get 
confused.  Do a mount -a and you should get all your filesystems 
mounted the way they are under a full boot.
