Dear Joe I tried commenting out the unused devices in molrc.osx but to no avail. I wonder if this is because i have an ordinary hfs format rather than an hfs+ format (on my hda2). If so, I wonder how to format hda2 with hfs+ ? I am having endless trouble mountiung OSX (version 10.3.2) on my hda2 despite following all the directions provided. Frustrating! Bob Delbourgo
