Using VirtualBox 3.1.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 with android-x86-eeepc-2.0.iso
installed to a VBox Ext3 Partition.

I boot the debug console and try to
$ vi /mnt/grub/menu.lst
to add SDCARD=premount

but I can't save it, keep getting "Read-only file system".

I've tried
$ chmod 755 /mnt/grub/menu.lst
but doesn't make any difference.

You should do this first:

mount -o remount,rw /mnt

At work so I can't offer to much help. Just curious. Does
m.YouTube.com work. I think that's the mobile address anyway

Yeah, I'm accessing YouTube mobile. It's only when I click on a video
that I get the error.

Hmm odd. Well I am playing catch up. I reformated my old system to
give to my kid and getting my new one back up. USB image is in make
phase now. I will try when done n see if I get the same issue. Good
luck though
