what happened with you and where did you get ext2 or 3 in /dev directory there is no ext3 or 2 (maybe created them?)
No no no! You got it all wrong.
Note that you need to replace /dev/xxx with the formatted ext2|3 partition on the N900 or microSD card that you intend to use
Menas you have to replace xxx with partition path, not "ext3" or "ext2". Normally, your partitions are:
/dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p2
/dev/mmcblk0p3
/dev/mmcblk1p1
if you repartition your for example SD card (or EMMC) (while installing NITDroid for example you get extra partition /dev/mmcblk1p2 if you install it on SD card). I think it is rocket science for you anyway, so I won't provide here lots of not needed information about how to do that. Anyway, by default you have (beginning with mmcblk0) swap partition (for extending ram), /opt partition (for installing apps) and normal FAT32-formatted partition (which you can see via file manager or when you connect your phone to PC) and (beginning with mmcblk1) partition on memory card. You could for example format your whole memory card as ext3 (if you have linux pc) and replace /dev/xxx with /dev/mmcblk1p1 in these command then (if you have many memory cards around, you could do that to increase speed of easy debian)
