	There are a few possible causes of this, but the most likely is that
you are mounting the filesystem as read-only; make sure you have `rw' in
the `bootargs' environmental variable in u-boot.  Here is what I set
them to when using NFS:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd ip=on root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=${MY_IP}:${PATH_TO_ROOTFS},nolock
saveenv

	If that is not the problem, check the permissions as they are set on
the host system: it is possible, however unlikely, that you have them
set up in some strange way (eg -r-xr-xr-x).
