You need to use /dev/sda1 which is the actual device. When mount says "special device sda1 does not exist", it's looking for /mnt/sda1, your pwd, and sda1 is not stored there. 's' does stand for scsi, but /dev/sda1 is a "special" device because it references a device as opposed to just a normal file.
