: Configure your kernel for foreign partition format support (Mac
: partitions,
: of course) and either use hfsutils or the kernel HFS filesystem support.
Actually you don't need forgien partition support for hfsutils. I use
it under 2.0.36 to read Mac Syquest disks on the Amiga.

: Fine, so hfsutils can figure out the partition itself? What device do you
: specify to mount? (Something like /dev/sdb4 would already require the
: kernel to parse the partitions, or hfsutils to parse the device name and
: the partition table ...)
Use /dev/sdb and it will work. hmount /dev/sdb will mount the first
HFS partition. To mount other partition just give the partition
number after the device. ie hmount /dev/sdb 2 (not /dev/sdb2) would
mount the second partition on /dev/sdb.
This is in the manpage.

But thanks anyway, that'll help me next time I can't simply reboot with
the right kernel.

1. Can Linux read a Mac Zip disk?
I've got a couple of Macintosh zip disks that I would like to mount on my
Linux box... can it be done? Read/write or read only? Please advise.
