Did an 'HD' install of DSL but cant get the guestadditions.iso to mount.
I see the iso in the VirtualBox disk manager. It is set to load the iso
image in the settings but when DSL boots it dosent mount the image
anywhere.
checked:
/mnt/cdrom
/cdrom
but found nothing. Using the menu options in the VB frontend give no joy
either.
Any ideas?

Once you have the guest OS booted up, check the Devices dropdown and
mount the CD/guestAdditions.iso.
then you have to install from a terminal session
mount /dev/scd0 /media (or whatever)
cd /media (or whatever)
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
Check the virtualbox docs/pdf available at virtualbox web site for
further details.
FWIW....the guest additions may not work with DSL (haven't personally
checked DSL out yet)....just did an VB Puppy linux install, a couple of
days ago, where the guest additions scripting barfed. The various ubuntu
flavours seem to work OK (just installed Fluxbuntu today and it installed
fine).
