No you didn't. You tried some variation of what I wrote

sudo: gainroot: command not found
You need to install the rootsh (or something like that - google) package.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ su mount ro, loop /media/sdb1/SystemBackups/20101109-backup-rootfs.img
  • You're using su incorrectly. Stop messing with su. Install the rootsh (or something like that - google) package, then type "root" to become root.
  • You're using the mount command incorrectly (note the missing "-o" and there is no space in ro,loop, and you have missed out /tmp/n900)
