cannot fsck because root is not read only

During the boot sequence I see the following message on screen.

ERROR ! cannot fsck because root is not read only.

This started afer using mkinit or mk_init following the removal of a NIC module. That was fixed but since then the ERROR message occurs.

How should I restore the normal fsck after 20 boots.

/dev/hda5 is the root

What is the correct command to make root read only at boot time and restore the normal operation?
