Is mntroot rw the wrong command at this point? I try to work out my own problems but, sometimes I run into a dead end and it seems that playing around with K3's and the serial port may be getting obsolete with the newer models. Please see my error message below:

You are logged in as user framework. That is a very restricted account that cannot access the framebuffer device, and CERTAINLY cannot mount the root as writable.

Please login as root. You can compute the root password from your serial number.
