Have you created /mnt/mountpoint? The directory you're mounting to has to exist first. Oh, and have you formatted the partitions?
then when i slice a partition from MyDocs, there comes the other mmcblk0px, so there is something still i did not perform?

For example, on my N900 /opt/maemo is about 320M, so that'd be a useful one to replace. I'd need to make sure that it's mounted at the right time though, otherwise any libraries/applications in there would be unavailable which could cause problems booting. Apps like stellarium or MAME would be simpler to replace, but they're only 35-40M each.
