You can "see" your partitions by using the mount.app tool on the bottom right corner of your screen.

-or-

You could do something like
cd /mnt
ls -d hd* sd*

if sudo cfdisk is not working try:
sudo fdisk -l
this should list how your hard drive is partitioned (if that is what you are looking for).

If you are looking for your mounted partitions open the System Stats tool under the System menu and it offers alot of detail about your system.

To view what partitions you can mount the best tool is the Mount Tool, as ^thehastsrule^ said, and it can also be started under the System menu.
