I just went through this very thing and here's the only way I could 
figure out to solve it.  When you mount the partition, mount it 
thusly:

mount -t hfs -o umask=000 /dev/hda10 /mnt/macos

The fstab entry would look something like this:

/dev/hda10          /mnt/macos          hfs          umask=000          1  2

If you want to make it read-only, replace "umask=000" with 
"umask=222" (this will still allow execution, necessary to traverse 
directories).
