thats becoz u might not have mounted that or its already unmounted. May be u can jus ignore that.

alright, so i ignored it and went along with the procedure, but ran into another problem which i belive to be linked to this one.... 
now, when trying to run mk2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 i get the following reply:
could not stat /dev/mmcblk0p2 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

i think your partitioning got conked somewhere.
Open xterm, type df and press enter and see if the partition /dev/mmcblk0p2 is listed. If it is not listed then your partitioning was not proper.

This could be off the wall, and I'm not familiar with the 770, but is it an mmc2 partition you want, or is it mmc1 on the 770? What "guide" are you following? Got a link? You're trying to do what?

The guide is the one straight from maemo, http://wiki.maemo.org/Partitioning_a_flash_card
i want to create a bootable partition on the removable mmc card
this is mainly for practice, as i have a 2gb card coming in the mail, and would like to try booting debian or some other OS off of the card when it gets here, but for now i would like to figure out what i actually need to do

Please make sure that you are following the below steps properly.
apt-get install e2fsprogs
umount /media/mmc1
umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 << EOF
1,15000,6
15001,,
EOF
Follow each step at a time (enter one line of text and press enter)
Sorry if my detailing is too much.
