DSL does not automatically mount a hard drive partition, so the /mnt/... directories will be empty until you manually mount them first.
There are a few easy ways to mount a hard drive partition.
1) Use the "Mount.app" dockapp that is located in the lower right corner of the desktop. Scoll over until your partition name appears and then push the button. If the green light appears, then your partition is now mounted.
2) Open an xterminal window and type:
mount /mnt/hda1
(in this example, we mount partition named hda1)
When finished working on it, you can unmount the partition with the
umount /mnt/hda1
command.
3) Start up the emelfm file manager and navigate to the /mnt directory. Then Right-Click on a mountpoint (say "hda1", for example) and choose "Mount" from the popup context menu.
After mounting the partition, the files should then appear.
Hope this helps.
