[NBLUG/talk] Advanced partition selection

[Dean A. Roman]

Lincoln,

I don't have any experience working with Mac partitions, however it 
would make sense to me that you would need a special Mac partition tool 
to be able to view/edit any of the partitions.

In order to mount the Mac partions/file systems you need both the 
Macintosh partition option and HFS file system option(under file 
systems) in the kernel or as modules.
Then using the mount command specify hfs as the file system type. (mount 
-t hfs )

You can check the kernel docs for more details . Usually kernel docs are 
located in the kernel build directory under Documentation.

I hope that helped,
---Dean.
