I got that message when I accidently did the first: mount command and specified the HDD address rather than the CD's address.

You first mount the CD, then the instructions will ask you for the HDD address.

mkdir /cdrom
mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/hd? /cdrom

This will mount a CD. There is no need for a FAT32 hard drive if you are loading an image from CD. The file will be referenced with /cdrom/<backup filename> in the mfsrestore command.

Did you use -X in the mfsrestore command? If not, put the drive back in the PC and use mfsadd -x /dev/hd? to expand the drive from the original image size to use the full drive.
