The mtab is usually /etc/mtab. The device is a c character not a b raw device. If there is no parallel raw device, it may be that the USB is being mounted raw as a character device, not through a driver for a flash memory on USB. Make a listing of the *tab files, df and /dev with the phone and with a pen drive (which probably mounts just fine).

Many users of this and similar devices on *NIX say it is easier to connect over the air to a server you establish on the phone: ftp, ssh, samba! I suppose you could mount an sftp service as a drive with the right tools. Some windows articles talk about MTP drivers, mtpfs, gMTP, libmtp: http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/

One says you need an OTG cable, not the micro usb cable used for charging and sync (2 different USB ports on the phone?)

Another suggested this S2 procedure:

Try the following. This was tested on Galaxy SII, i am assuming it will work for SIII as well

go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities
Click on Connect Storage to PC
Connect the USB cable to your pc.
Click on Connect USB storage
Use your file manager to install/copy/paste.
Once finished, click on Disconnect storage from PC to disconnect and unmount drive from Ubuntu.

BHYVELOAD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      BHYVELOAD(8)

NAME

     bhyveload -- load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve virtual machine

SYNOPSIS

     bhyveload [-c cons-dev] [-d disk-path] [-e name=value] [-h host-path] [-m mem-size] vmname

DESCRIPTION

     bhyveload is used to load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve(4) virtual machine.

     bhyveload is based on loader(8) and will present an interface identical to the FreeBSD loader on the user's terminal.

     The virtual machine is identified as vmname and will be created if it does not already exist.

OPTIONS

     The following options are available:

     -c cons-dev
	     cons-dev is a tty(4) device to use for bhyveload terminal I/O.

	     The text string "stdio" is also accepted and selects the use of unbuffered standard I/O. This is the default value.

     -d disk-path
	     The disk-path is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.

     -e name=value
	     Set the FreeBSD loader environment variable name to value.

	     The option may be used more than once to set more than one environment variable.

     -h host-path
	     The host-path is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.

     -m mem-size [K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t]
	     mem-size is the amount of memory allocated to the guest.

	     The mem-size argument may be suffixed with one of K, M, G or T (either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of Kilobytes,
	     Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes respectively.

	     The default value of mem-size is 256M.

EXAMPLES

     To create a virtual machine named freebsd-vm that boots off the ISO image /freebsd/release.iso and has 1GB memory allocated to it:

	   bhyveload -m 1G -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm

     To create a virtual machine named test-vm with 256MB of memory allocated, the guest root filesystem under the host directory
     /user/images/test and terminal I/O sent to the nmdm(4) device /dev/nmdm1B

	   bhyveload -m 256MB -h /usr/images/test -c /dev/nmdm1B test-vm

SEE ALSO

     bhyve(4), nmdm(4), vmm(4), bhyve(8), loader(8)

HISTORY

     bhyveload first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0, and was developed at NetApp Inc.

AUTHORS

     bhyveload was developed by Neel Natu <neel@FreeBSD.org> at NetApp Inc with a lot of help from Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     bhyveload can only load FreeBSD as a guest.
