Perhaps there hasn't been an intended change, but something went
wrong. It seems that the root partition doesn't get remounted
writable, but even when /var cannot be written to, the boot process
shouldn't crash.
What happens when you boot in single mode, rename /var to something
else and reboot with a writable root fs? If it works, you would have
an indication that /var not being writable isn't a problem.
