What other filesystems do you have?  I ask because, for example, /var
needs to be writable.  So if you don't have /var on a separate, writable
partition, you can't use a readonly / (which contains var).

What kinds of errors?  Start at the beginning.  Read the error, find out
why it happens, and fix it.  That's the best advice I can give to "I
get errors".

good times,
