You found it, I had a typo in molrc. The partition number was right, but
the disk name was mistyped (hdb instead of hda)

Neither solution is really handy for the use I had in mind, i.e. TeXing:
for editing TeX files, I have currently been using Alpha under MacOS, which
I find really great (the best TeX editor imho). So, I'd like to continue to
use it, but do the TeXing under Linux, which would require that the
partition be read-writable from the linux side if TeX outputs are written
to the same directory.
So, I guess the best solution would be have TeX write the output files to
another partition (I guess that should be possible), or else, as suggested
by some to mount a linux partition under MacOS using netatalk.
