Thanks for the reply .... Still nogo:

/mnt was/is empty, virgin .... Does Debian-kfreeBSD in fact have ext3fs 
support ? It does have ext2, I used that when I setup /boot, but the 
installer made me use UFS for the root drive, wouldn't do it ext2 (or 3 
or 4 for that matter, said the kernel needed UFS). I had some problems 
determining this from the website online docs .... TIA for any further 
clues :-) ....
