indeed it did, and the partitions as well.

  NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
  sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk
  ??sda1   8:1    0   600M  0 part /boot/efi
  ??sda2   8:2    0     1G  0 part /boot

  Rama0  252:0    0     8G  0 disk [SWAP]

/run/media was there; i manually created
/run/media/moylan/BCKUP1p and successfully mounted the disk
there from /dev/sdb2 -- all of which the OS did formerly.
who knew?  thanks for your help.
