I'm only guessing here, since I'm using an old version of DSL.
I think you're supposed to copy your extensions (e.g something.dsl) into the "mydsl" of the root directory of the drive you boot from. The cdrom doesn't have anything inside /mydsl and you can't write to it anyway (it's probably a temporary map to ram).
So what you do is you copy something.dsl to e.g /dev/hda1/mydsl/ (first hard disk) and boot with the option e.g mydsl=/dev/hda1 which tells DSL to load the extensions in /dev/hda1/mydsl/
in older versions (<2.3) the mydsl directory wasn't invented, and you have to put your extensions at the very root e.g /dev/hda/ (this might also work for newer versions, i'm not sure).
if you put the extensions inside a directory called "optional" e.g /dev/hda1/optional then the extensions will appear in a right-click menu on the desktop myDSL>Install Optional Extensions.
