[casper] Creating boffiles directory

[Rich Lacasse]

Hi Casperites,

One of my ROACH2, v2, has the following set of directories at the root
cockroach3 ~ $ cd /
cockroach3 / $ ls
bin   dev   etc   lib   mnt   proc  root  sbin  sys   tmp usr   var

When I try to create a boffiles directory, I find that the system does 
not allow it (soloboot):

cockroach3 / $ mkdir boffiles
mkdir: can't create directory 'boffiles': Read-only file system

Is there a way around this, or am I doing something completely foolish?

Thanks,
Rich
