Here's a script works OMM . I wrote when I was having a few problems keeping several disks mounted. The script mounts both disks and the partitions on them.
As for usage, diskutil prefers the 'disk identifier' (or other forms) rather than the name of a disk. You can use "diskutil info 'disk identifier'" (i.e. disk2s2) in terminal to identify them, they are all listed in /dev.

set diskList to {{"Mac HD3", "disk2s2"}, {"Mac HD2", "disk2s3"}, {"OS9", "disk2s4"}, {"BigDisk", "disk3s9"}, {"Utility", "disk1s3"}, {"Backup", "disk1s5"}}
set dl to list disks
repeat with aDisk in diskList
if (item 1 of aDisk) is not in dl then
do shell script "diskutil mount " & (item 2 of aDisk)
delay 2.0
end if
end repeat

Any line in this script which starts at the left margin has been wrapped.
You may need to manually append such a line to the end of the preceeding line if it's a "hard" wrap.
