What do I need to umount? As far as I can tell I don't have anything
mounted that I wouldn't need :-)
/dev/sda5 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /boot type hfs (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /home type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
Do I need to _mount_ the mac HFS+ drive?
