I have a system with a number of OSs loaded, Mac OS X, Mac OS 9.2.2, Darwin, 
and YDL 3.0. It would be very convienant for me to be able to exchange files 
between the two systems. My research has veilded the following conclusions:

1. Linux does not support operations on HFS+ volumes.

2. I could change one of my HFS+ volumes to HFS, the OS 9 volume looks like a 
likely target.

3. It would be convienant to modify the file /etc/fstab to make the change 
persistant.

4. That change might occur during my next YDL boot if I change the volume 
formatting. 

5. Otherwise I need to edit /etc/fstab manually.

6. I have not found a complete listing of the meaning of the values in the 
vstab field of the fstab file. I would like to know where to find same.

7. It would be pleasant if I could mount my HFS+ volumes.

Any comments would be appreciated.
