I used... man cp, man mount
and others...
Writen documentation is limited. My impression is that the process is so trivial that it doesn't require significant comment in documentation.
I have tride several different command formats, as stated in man mount, but no success and its not clear why. I suspect my error is basic. You would think this would fall into the class of "Intro to DEC Unix" but I haven't found it.

mount_efs
MOUNT_EFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_EFS(8)
NAME
mount_efs -- Mount an SGI EFS file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_efs [-o options] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_efs command attaches an EFS file system special device on to the file system tree at the point node. Both special and node are
converted to absolute paths before use.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.
The options are as follows:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma-separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options
and their meanings.
SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), options(4), fstab(5), mount(8), svhlabel(8)
HISTORY
The mount_efs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
BUGS
Write support is not presently implemented.
EFS file systems are limited to 8 gigabytes in size.
Because of EFS limitations, an EFS file system can't be used with any UID or GID greater than 65535.
