Hello all,

Here is the answer to my own question, thanks to eddie.

I have to mount part2 on the SD card and then edit linuxrc to make it mount the 
file system as a read/write.  Now it works just fine.

Her is Eddie's complete answer:

If I understand correctly you want to boot to the fastboot 
environment(initial ramdisk) but have the SD card mounted read/write in 
/mnt/root. If this is incorrect, please let me know... The linuxrc 
script is responsible for mounting the SD card, you should find the 
linuxrc script mounts the SD card read only. You can modify this script 
to mount the SD card read/write. Keep in mind the linuxrc script is 
stored on an initial ramdisk so if you boot to the initial ramdisk and 
modify the linuxrc script you will only have modified the contents of 
RAM and not the initial ramdisk stored on the SD card. I would recommend 
using a PC or booting to Debian then mounting the initial ramdisk(second 
partition on the SD card) then modifying the linuxrc, finally unmount 
the initial ramdisk.
