Perhaps this is UFS-specific, as I have an ext2 fs mounted as RO:

% mount
/dev/ad1s3a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad1s2d on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad1s3d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad1s1 on /mnt/Audio (ext2fs, local, read-only)

% cat /etc/fstab 
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad1s3b             none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ad1s3a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/ad1s2d             /home           ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad1s3d             /tmp            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
/dev/ad1s1              /mnt/Audio      ext2fs  ro              0       2
/dev/da0s1              /mnt/floppy     msdosfs rw,noauto       0       0
/dev/da0s2              /mnt/ipod       msdosfs rw,noauto       0       0
