Okay, I loaded up debian-kfreebsd in a VM.

When I tried the commands you gave above I get the same error. Also if I
try '-t ext3fs' I get the same error. However, with '-t ext2fs',
everything works as expected.

This test, and the fact that there is no reference to ext3 in "man
mount", leads me to believe that ext3 is *not* supported in
debian-kfreebsd. You should be able to mount the filesystems as ext2,
but you will lose the journalling capabilities of ext3.

Cheers,
Tom
