That's the problem. From the init man page:

	2	Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks may not
		be opened for writing (except by mount(2)) whether mounted or
		not. This level precludes tampering with file systems by
		unmounting them, but also inhibits running newfs(8) while 
		the system is multi-user.

You can either boot into single user mode (boot -s) or temporarily lower
your secure level to work with the disk.

Cheers,
