Before doing the "mount," I think you have to create a new directory=20
for the device to mount to (I know, it makes no sense -- this is=20
Linux). I *think* the command is something like "mkdir /mnt/macos", but=20=

you should look it up. Have you done that, yet?

Make sure the drive is *not* simultaneously mounted in MOL (go to MOL=20
and drag the icon to the Trash).

Since "stiffy" (grin) is sda6, try:

[root]# mount -t hfs /dev/sda6 /mnt/macos

Does this help?
