You need to remount your root filesystem read-only.
To do this, the command is:
Code:
mount /dev/device / -o remount,rw
The names of the device is listed in /proc/mounts (assuming that it's mounted read-only). I've also assumed that it's mounted the device at / (the root directory); it not, change the mount-point in the above command.
