I know, that is why I was confused. Why would anyone refer to the
/mnt/sysimage filesystem, while in fact it was the root filesystem (and
it was even corrupt!).

I was using imprecise language. More precise language would be the file
system formatted within a hard drive partition, said partition mounted
onto the rescue default mount point /mnt/sysimage . My apologies for
the imprecision. Nonetheless, said partition was mounted read-write by
the rescue image booted operating system environment, and was not the
partition from which mount was executing. I did perform a manual umount
of said partition, and a subsequent invocation of mount showed said
partition absent -- hence, I presumed that the partition was
successfully unmounted. Nonetheless, upon reboot, the regular (not
rescue) operating system environment reported that the partition had not
been cleanly unmounted.
