You need to use mount(8) with the 'remount' option to change the mount
flags, and also tell mount to not try to write to /etc/mtab (since /
isn't writable at that point). So the magic invocation is
mount / -n -o remount,rw
Make sure to remount the filesystem readonly before you power down or
reboot, though.
