Yes, here is my fstab (you have to change it to your environment)
# more /etc/fstab
/dev/hda11              /                       ext2    defaults,ro     1 1
/dev/hda14              /backup                 vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda2               /boot                   ext2    defaults,ro     1 2
/dev/hda10              /home                   ext2    defaults        1 2
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/hda7               /opt                    ext2    defaults,ro     1 2
/dev/hda13              /tmp                    ext2    defaults        1 2
/dev/hda5               /usr                    ext2    defaults,ro     1 2
/dev/hda6               /usr/src                ext2    defaults,ro     1 2
/dev/hda12              /usr/src/projects       ext2    defaults        1 2
/dev/hda8               /var                    ext2    defaults        1 2
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/hda9               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

If you want to install some programs e.g. on /usr you can use the options

mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda5 /usr

than the /usr is remounted as rw - after this don't forget to remount ro again
8). If you inside a network you could mount /backup to a nfs drive - at crash
time no data will be corrupted on the network drive.
