I am not sure I understand your question. I suspect that you want to
access the partitions on sdb and sdc. If that is the case, you will
need entries in /etc/fstab for them, or you will need to mount them
by hand, as root. Right now, you have partitions on sda mounted:

/dev/sda2 if mounted as /
/dev/sda1 is mounted on /boot

It looks like sdb is another Linux installation, with /boot on the
first partition, and everything else in a LVM volume in partition 2.

At a guess, I would say that sdc is either a Windows install with a
Linux data partition.

Now, mounting the first partition of sdb, and the partitions of sdc
are probably going to be easy. Mounting the stuff inside the LVM
volume group is a bit harder. For example, you could mount the
HPFS/NTFS partition using something like:

mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/windows

You could mount the Linux partition on the same drive using
something like:

mkdir /mnt/sdc2
mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/sdc2

Now, the /mnt/windows and /mnt/sdc2 directories only need to be
created the first time, and can be and name you want. They also do
not have to be /mnt/<something> if there is someplace you would
rather have them show up. For example, I have a partition mounted on
/backup on one machine, and one mounted on /shared on another
machine. On my laptop, I have a partition that I share between
Windows and Linux that has my music mounted on /media/music.

Now, as far as mounting hte LVM volume, I will leave that to someone
else, or at least until I have more coffee in me.
