Actually, that depends on the version of UNIX (tm) you are using.  You are
correct, the earlier versions of the O/S did NOT have the mount command 
embedded in magic mode.  But that changed for the later versions, I believe
it was somewhere around SVR2.04.  Any 3.X UNIX for the 3B2 has mount 
within magic mode.
