I would suggest to create a separate directory in /mnt that you will use as
a so called 'mountpoint' (There already is directory in /mnt called /cdrom!)

As root (su):

mkdir /mnt/macos (for example)

then as root (su) too (only root can mount devices in a terminal session
imho)

mount -t hfs /dev/hda10 /mnt/macos

Now you might change the owner priviliges of /mnt/macos to your user
account:

chown -R /mnt/macos

Under Gnome a file browser window opens up automatically showing the
contents of a CD-ROM mounted that way.

Think you will have to add /dev/hda10 to your fstab file first.

Hopefully this helps you a bit.

Cheers,
