Well, for the problem “cannot create su: read-only file system” after cat sh > su, it is maybe very simple :
the solution is to verify you write the first command correctly.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2[space]/dev/block/mtdblock3[space]/system, for sure.
If you forget the space between yaffs2 and /dev, you will have this message error “cannot create su: read-only file system”.

It’s a little bit silly, but it was the case for me. (I can’t tell you how much time it took me, it’s a shame).
And I became root with my HTC Dream, do you believe it ?
