For FreeBSD, it is
mount -u -o rw /
I found that command by looking for 'mount' in /etc/rc (the startup) on
FreeBSD. I found the Linux equivalent by looking at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit on
my Mandrake laptop (BadTux's Internet server runs on FreeBSD because I make
heavy use of FreeBSD's jail functionality, which Linux doesn't have at the
moment, other than the very resource-hogging User Mode Linux method). Knowing
what gets executed on system startup is one of the things that's very handy
with Unix (any Unix).
