My biggest problem is that since the machine is booting > in single user mode, I can't even rebuild the kernel 'coz the file > system is read-only. I have tried booting from an older kernel and > from kernel.GENERIC with the same results. At this stage I would nuke /usr/obj and make sure you have a clean src tree for 3.5-STABLE and try again. In single user mode, 'mount -a -t nonfs' will mount everyting listed in /etc/fstab apart from NFS filesystems. You can change the status of an already mounted filesystem with 'mount -u -w /usr', for example.
