Hi Albert,
your post appears somewhat garbled, but I'll try to give you some hints:

Which part of the procedure exactly is failing?
I assume you are within a command shell in an xterm or on the console.
What message do you get when you type 'mount -t hfs /dev/cdrom /mnt'?

Since you have an "Old-World"-Mac, you probably don't have a "MacOS ROM"
file in your System Folder. You'd have to get it from the CDROM, but if
all else fails, and your MacOS volume is HFS, and not HFS+, you could copy
it within MacOS to your hard drive and mount your MacOS volume from Linux.

No idea where Pottberg is... but I do know Eckernförde. Hope you get better
weather by then.
I have been over to the US last month, but I missed the OpSail by a week
both in Philadelphia and in N.Y., and in the meantime also missed the
"Kieler Woche" sailing event here. :-/
But there's enough opportunity to see the Gorch Fock around here, of course.
Don't know if she will be home by September, though.
Greetings,
Derek
