boot procedure still mounts / as RO, and so "it" can't write to

(No, it doesn't drop me into single-user mode. I think it wants
to, but things fly by so fast that I can't see.)
Look on the bright side. You get to test your recovery procedures.

Is this better:
Pull out the CD-R to which you backed up your project directory.
CD-R??? Hahahahahaha. That's soooo 1998. Besides, they seem not
to age very well.
No, I'm not trying to be flippant. For the past 50 years, people/
organizations that don't make backups don't have any right to whine
about lost data.
You're right. That's why I've got external drives!

:-) Tell me to STFU anytime.
Fortunately, science kicked me in the head: if the fs is clean, then
something else must be forcing it to RO!!
So, I changed the grub "set root" lines to point to the real root
device, and also told the boot line to mount root as rw instead of
ro. System up, and now I cooking with gas!
After, of course, I had to fiddle with the frickin net udev rules to
force the new mobo's NIC to eth0 and then reboot...
