Remounting the partition using "mount / -o remount,rw" has allowed me
to work on files again. Changing the kernel makde no difference.
How do I get the drive correctly mounted during init as almost all
the scrips are failing. Editing fstab didnt help this.
Your time is much appreciated. Thanks

I can try that but I cant do anything that involves editing files.
Using a different kernel makes no difference.
The problem is not having any write access to the partition.
Try booting a kernel other than the one you compiled with devfs support.
Or, mount / -o remount,rw. (make sure you mount / -o remount,ro before
rebooting, if you used init=/bin/bash. If you don't, then nothing will and
you'll need to fsck.)
