Mounting a second HDD, Still.....

[mascarasnake]

Howdy Ho, All!

I've been trying and trying to mount a second SCSI HDD (empty, formatted
hfs standard).It is recognized in MOL, and I'm wanting to use it as a
quick transfer from OS9 to Linux.

I.ve tried:
mount /mnt/macos
	and
mount -t hfs /dev/sda /mnt/macos

and I receive:
mount: mount point /mnt macos does not exists

If I go to the KickDog and open Info Center, It is detected there, and I
can force it to mount, but it appears as a mirror to the drive I have
linux on. It then refuses to unmount and crashes the system, forcing me
to reboot to access in anything but safe mode.


this is my fstab file (the only thing I've added to it is the las sda
line):

/dev/hde8	/ 		ext3 	defaults 1 1
none 		/dev/pts 	devpts  gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none 		/proc 		proc 	defaults 0 0
none 		/dev/shm 	tmpfs 	defaults        0 0
/dev/hde6 	swap 		swap 	defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom 	/mnt/cdrom 	udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/sda 	/mnt/macos 	hfs 	noauto,user,rw  0 0

This is the partition list for the sda:

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/sda'
#:                type name             length   base    ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple                63 @ 1
2:      Apple_Driver43*Macintosh            54 @ 64
3:      Apple_Driver43*Macintosh            74 @ 118
4:  Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh           512 @ 192
5:       Apple_Patches Patch Partition     512 @ 704
6:           Apple_HFS "stiffy"        2133072 @ 1216    (  1.0G)
7:          Apple_Free Extra                 7 @ 2134288

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=2134304 (1.0G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Drivers-
1:  23 @ 64, type=0x1
2:  36 @ 118, type=0xffff

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. It's getting old using my
winnie for a go-between transferring files over ftp.

thx
