Give the mount command w/o any options a see whether it says it is mounted ro. If so, check /var/log/messages to see if there are any clues to why it got mounted ro.

You also might try (as root) giving the command

mount -o remount,rw /dev/dsb1

after you have already mounted it, and see if it will change over.
