Mounting a Mac drive

[Justin Bennett]

Mac OS 9 or X. Don't know if it matters. Mac os 9 and below are HFS file
systems. Should be able to put the drive in and mount it with a mount -t
hfs command. You'll need the device and partition number. /dev/sdb1,
/dev/hdb1 or whatever depending if it's scsi or IDE. 

Something like:
mount -t hfs /dev/hdb2 /mnt/macdrive

I assume os X is still HFS??? Anybody? Most macs have OS 9 installed
also with 10 so for OS 9 to read files I would assume its still HFS.
