Peter's correct here: you don't need to remount the disks read-only (because the player will do it). You also only have to "rwm", since /empeg/var is on the music partition (under /drive0).

I'm not sure about whether the player issues a swapoff. It almost certainly won't if you've manually mounted both swap partitions.
