Hi Thomas,
thanks for your quick answere.

Changing
mount -o ro /dev/$fstabpart $FAI_ROOT
to
mount -o rw /dev/$fstabpart $FAI_ROOT

doesn't change the behavior: /tmp/target still read-only in rescuemode:
myhost:~# mount
     ....
/dev/sda1 on /tmp/target type ext3 (ro)
/dev/sda7 on /tmp/target/home type ext3 (rw,nosuid)
/dev/sda6 on /tmp/target/usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /tmp/target/var type ext3 (rw)

But "rwmount /tmp/target" helps.
