No HFS[+] filesystem found

I had OS 9.2.1, Mac OSX, and YDL 2.1 installed on the same harddrive and
used mol in the past to run 9.2.1 under YDL.  It worked great.

Then I decided to repartition the entire drive and make various upgrades
including YDL 2.2.  Since the repartitioning and upgrade, mol has not been
happy (see output below).  Basically I have Mac OSX on hda9 and 9.2.2 on
hda10 (exchange and linux on hda11-14).  Both hda9 and hda10 are HFS+.
Based on the output "/dev/hda10: No HFS[+] filesystem found" I suspected
that the problem was caused by me using the Mac OS X install disk to do the
repartitioning.  Thus I tried to erase partition hda10 and install a fresh
9.2.1, selecting "update disk drivers".  No difference.  I also tried
mol-0.9.62, no difference.

Any ideas?  Or if I'm going to go through a full repartitioning one more
time (I'd rather not), what is the 'right' repartitioning approach to make
both mol and Mac OS X happy?

Thanks much,
Soren
