Sounds like your filesystem is getting mounted read-only. Are there
any warnings/errors when you boot the system?
You could try "mount -o remount,rw /", but for some reason that didn't
work for me when I was in a similar situation. Maybe it will for you,
though.
Also, don't forget that you go back into the Debian installer (via
CDROM, floppy, netbooting, whatever), then switch to tty2, and mount
the disk manually, make whatever fixes are necessary, and then umount
and reboot.
