put "read-only" (without quotes) in your lilo.conf, typically after you
define your root partition. This will mount your root partition read-only
irrespective of what fstab says.
The other way is to keep the "ro" option in your fstab file like
/dev/hda5 /home ro 0 0
etc etc.
Note: however dont make your /tmp read only. X and a lot of others need it
to write tmp file, lockfiles etc. So incase /tmp is not a seperate
directory, using "read-only" in lilo.conf will cause some problems.
