To expand on that a little, here's what I have:

[root at MarComm mnt]# mkdir /mnt/mac1
[root at MarComm mnt]# hmount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/mac1
Volume name is "Mac OS 9"
Volume was created on Thu Feb 24 13:56:26 2005
Volume was last modified on Fri Feb 25 11:09:28 2005
Volume has 1503321088 bytes free
[root at MarComm mnt]# cd /mnt/mac1
[root at MarComm mac1]# ls
[root at MarComm mac1]# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Feb 25 11:13 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Feb 25 11:13 ..
[root at MarComm mac1]#


The Volume name is indeed "Mac OS 9", so that's right. I'm not sure why 
I can't see anything there, though? Could that be the source of MOL's 
problems?
