I don't quite understand this. The concept of mounting a FS is an OS
operation, so to say "mount the FS read-only and then boot the OS" is
nonsensical. If taking the Linux live CD route isn't acceptable, your
best bet would be to start looking at something like BartPE:

You might want to contact Bart directly
(http://www.nu2.nu/contact/bart/) and ask him for advice on how to proceed.
