Accessing OSX volume through FC4

[Paul Cieslar]

Hi.  I am dual booting panther and FC4 test 2, but am unable to access 
any files under the panther install.  I have tried the mount command, I 
have also tried using hfsutils.  Below is the output:
--

Any advice would be appreciate.

Thanks.

Thanks Christian and Paul, the mount command and the fstab entry worked.

Your Mac OS X partition is HFS+, not HFS. What you're seeing with 
hfsutils is just the HFS wrapper that's there for backwards 
compatibility - that's what the ReadMe file there explains.

You can either access the partition with hfsplusutils (hpmount, hpcd, 
hpls etc.) or mount it as HFS+. I have the following in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda11		/mnt/macos		hfsplus	ro		0 0
