How do I mount an HFS partition as non-root?

If you look in your /etc/fstab file, you'll see the mount statements for all
your file systems. The first element is the device to use (/dev/hda5, none,
server:/fs). The second element is where is should hang on your tree
(/,/usr,/mnt/floppy). The third element is the format for the device (nfs,
ext2, iso9660). The next element is a comma-separated list of options for
the mount command. This is the one. Edit this file and put the magic ",user"
where it would best fit and save the file.

Example (before):

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/hda7 /foo ext3 noatime 0 0
$ mount /foo
mount: only root can mount /dev/hda7 on /foo
$

(after)
$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/hda7 /foo ext3 noatime,user 0 0
$ mount /foo
