If your persistent directories are also on hda5, then yes they would already be mounted. If hda5 is used only for mydsl, it will be mounted only long enough to load the extension(s) and then be unmounted (unless one or more of the extensions is uci, in which case the partition cannot be umounted while the uci is mounted).
/dev/hda5 is the device and cannot be accessed that way through a file manager, so you will have to access it through the mountpoint. The lack of a mydsl directory should not be a big problem...you can create one yourself and it should work fine in DSL 2.3 & later. The thing I don't understand is that you said you put the extensions in your persistent opt but they did not persist after a reboot? I am not surprised that they didn't reinstall (you must specify a directory, such as mydsl=hda5/opt, if you don't put them in either "mydsl" or the top level of the partition), but i'm surprised that the archives are not still there.
