You can mount the system manually in rw mode, but portage will NOT work 
to add packages (for several reasons).  Anything you want to add, you'll 
need to use the development environment and add packages.  You can look 
at the existing ones and create a template based on that.

You do not want to permanently mount / as rw.  That's counter to the 
goal of this project.
