How is the debian.img formatted ? Was it originally partitioned ? Note that the linux partitions (stored in MBR and so on) are different from the OpenBSD partitions (stored in a disklabel, see the manpage to the program of the same name). You might want to check out chapter 9 of the very nice FAQ OpenBSD has, find it on http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq9.html .. especially paragraph 9.5 - Accessing your Linux files from OpenBSD should help. (this is actually a pointer to 14.16, but you'll see that yourself). If you need more help, try sending a dmesg, the output of `disklabel svnd0` and `fdisk svnd0` etc. On a final note, I think you want -t ext2fs (see mount(8) and mount_ext2fs(8)).
