OK, that seemed to work. I ran the same command for /dev/sdc12 at /mnt/osx2.
The question is what kind of syntax I need to 'cp' my user profile
directory and all of the files and subdirectories over to /mnt/osx2.
One of the things that 'cp' stumbles on is that a file named NO
Name.dmg is in my user profile directory (at the root of the directory
- can you say that? Anyway, I can see it as soon as I open my user
profile directory.).

Done.
