...mounting things directly on /mnt is discouraged; you're supposed to
make subdirectories in /mnt and mount stuff on those.

It's time to update that kernel, if only for the updated USB device
lists. Latest is 2.4.26.

> [root@gk root]# mount -v -t ufs /dev/sda3 /mnt

You need the ufstype= option here. Remember that sun is for
Solaris filesystems created on a Sparc, sunx86 is for Solaris
filesystems created on an x86. HTH,
