DiskOnChip 2000 read only file system

[Brian Peterson]

Is this a bug or is there something I did incorrectly?
or is there a utility I can use to correct this at runtime?

Thanks,
Brian

We should be able to fix this.

The data on the read only partition cannot be trusted any more than the
data in the read-write partition. It's all in one big pseudo-filesystem,
the partitioning is purely cosmetic.
