The initramfs is mounted read-only I believe, and for the initial mount,
your root filesystem is also read-only, remounted read-write later in
the boot process.
If you use ext3, you'll notice after an unclean shutdown you'll see
messages similar to the following:
EXT3-fs: recovery required on read-only filesystem.
EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
