Not only rdonly, but also noexec, nodev, and nosuid.  OpenBSD even
defaults to using these flags for the appropriate mount points, e.g.:

/dev/sd0a on / type ffs (local)
/dev/sd0d on /usr type ffs (local, nodev)
/dev/sd0e on /var type ffs (local, nodev, noexec)
/dev/sd0g on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, noexec, nosuid)
/dev/sd0h on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)

Cheers,
