That probably means that the directory /Volumes/BootBackup doesn't  
exist.
You can make it with `mkdir` but it's better to use `diskutil mount / 
dev/disk1s3` - this "uses the Disk Management framework to manipulate  
local disks" so creates the directory automagically and will also  
delete the directory automagically when you drag the volume to the  
trash in Finder.
