HD Install :: Correct GRUB kernel commands for Debian install ?

After shutdown - reboot, the /etc/rcS.d/ S00... and S01... scripts are having trouble altering /etc/sysconfig/... files. "Read-only file system". Same for /etc/fstab.new (cannot be created ).

Details on new post or on kernel-commands HD install post.

Used MyDSL to get kernel-source.

Was able to mount -o loop image.iso directory.

Powered off on 07/12, and rebooted today.

Upon boot, the /etc/rcS.d/ S00... and S01... scripts are having trouble altering /etc/sysconfig/... files. "Read-only file system". Same for /etc/fstab.new (cannot be created ). mtab serves a complaint that fstab doesn't have a trailing newline.

I get the impression that part of the scripts are run twice.

Can't poweroff, i stays in the tty. logoff just hangs the tty.

I'm opening a new topic with details of the bootup readout.
