To permanently enable ssh for a headless setup, my understanding is that the simplest method is to create an empty file /boot/ssh on the boot partition. However, when I write to a file using this pathname, the change doesn't persist after I reboot. If I'm understanding correctly, then this is because I'm not actually accessing the boot partition, and I need to mount that somehow. How do I do that? I'm running Raspbian on a pi-zero, installed from NOOBS.

From the raspberry pi ssh documentation page (here)
When the Pi boots, it looks for the ssh file. If it is found, SSH is
enabled and the file is deleted.
Don't forget to change the default password.

Yes. You created the ssh file inside the boot partition, the raspberry saw it and deleted it, it set the ssh service to start on boot, and now ssh server will start every time automatically.

So you may now, change the default pi password and set a static ip to your raspberry (if you want) :P
