Mergemaster -p Cannot create /var/tmp/temproot

[CMD=]uname -a[/CMD]
Code:
FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Sun Dec  4 17:33:50 CST 2011 root@proteus:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DELLD610 i386

I just completed a [CMD=]make buildworld[/CMD] then a [CMD=]make installkernel[/CMD]. The next step was for me to boot into Single User Mode to use the [CMD=]mergemaster -p[/CMD] command. However, [CMD=]mergemaster -p[/CMD] says

Code:
FATAL ERROR: Cannot create /var/tmp/temproot.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong and tell me what I should do to resolve the issue?
 
Thank you for answering. How do I enable rw mode? Sorry, I am new to FreeBSD. I should have mentioned that...
 
I tried the command [CMD="mount -urw"][/CMD], and I still get the error:
Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
Code:
mkdir: /var/tmp/temproot: Read-only file system
FATAL ERROR: Cannot create /var/tmp/temproot
 
The remount from read only to read write certainly works on ZFS without touching the readonly property if you do it like this:

# mount -u /
