If you want to mount /dev/sda1 as /abc, /abc must exist before you can
do so. Use mkdir to create the directory, then mount it. 

You can have a directory that's essentially "empty" like /mnt/cdrom that
is used to mount removable media. The same applies to new partitions...
the directory has to exist before you can attach media to it.
