Why not, another entry in Fortnightly Topic Challenge #41: Short and Sweet
I just bought the newest, coolest chessboard! I think I'm going to share it to my five chess pieces at the National Shredder Exhibition: a pawn, a rook, a bishop, a knight, and a king. However, the pieces only like to be put on squares where they are all being attacked by the same number of pieces.
Alright, that's no problem!
Time to show my pieces the board, and...
sound of slipping over banana peel
sound of chessboard shredding
...oh...
...well...
I'd still like to show my chess pieces the chessboard, but they still all have to be attacked the same number of times...
Can you help me arrange my 5 chess pieces on the (2x3) board so they all are attacked the same number of times?

@FlorianBourse has shown a nice solution where each piece is attacked once.
Here is a solution with each piece attacked twice:
Kg1,Rg2,Bh2,Nf2,Ph1
Precision:
A pawn on the first rank is not possible in classical chess - but a 3x2 chessboard with pieces having special needs obviously isn't classical chess.
