I'm not sure about hfs+, some say you can some say it's not doable. Search the archives.

You can edit fstab tou mount your hfs partition at boot, that's how mine is. If you need the exact info leme know and I'll tell you howto.

Is there any way of setting up a permenant icon on the desktop or in 
home for a hfs+ partition?

This is all that stops me using YDL more.  I use my idisk to transfer 
data at the moment.
