Hi,
I was referring to debian-installer, while trying to rescue an
already-installed system. If someone does this, it's quite likely their
filesystem was unmounted uncleanly and so they would hit this problem.
I doubt this problem could happen on boot. Wouldn't the root fs get
mounted with -o ro anyway (which works), then fsck'd if necessary?

I don't recall seeing anything in dmesg.
The exact output on screen is what was shown in the ktrace in my last
mail, "mount: permission denied (are you root?)". The mount executable
in d-i is provided by busybox.
But I also tried installing the 'real' mount executable from
kfreebsd-utils, which results in "mount: /dev/ada0s1 : Operation not
permitted" as shown:
