I'll try that....

The problem seems to be that debian insists on writing a file,
/etc/network/ifstate, which is critical in bringing up networking. 
I've tried creating it and then mounting ro, but somewhere in the boot
process / is mounted rw, the file is deleted, and then / is remounted
ro, and networking fails as the scripts can't create that file.

I think this should be considered a bug in debian startup; scripts
should not use /etc/* to store volatile information; that's what /var
is for....
