No, it's just triggered by i386 kernel having ext2 built-in. When the
kernel mounts the root partition it uses the first FS that fits. When
ext2 is built-in but ext3 is a module, it just tried ext2 first.

Yes, you cannot change the FS type by just remounting. If you change the
root partition you have to reboot.

I cannot imagine a way to unmount the root partition unless via a
reboot.
