It simply says to mount /hd/baslinux as a loop
device.  /hd/baslinux is a file.  A file cannot 
be mounted directly, so it is mapped to a device.
mount does not do this mapping automatically, so
you have to use the option (-o) parameter.

Of course.  Every modification to the BL3 root
filesystem (loop device) is automatically recorded 
in fs.img.  No special procedure is needed.  

Cheers,
Steven
