This is the message you get when you try to mount an hfs+ partition on a 
non-hfs+ compliant OS (um...MacOS 8.0 and before I think).  It sounds like 
the partition is hfs+, but YDL is/can only see it as hfs.  Try reformatting 
the partition as just hfs (after first copying your mac stuff off!).

Conversely, and I have no idea here because I've never tried it, but the 
command you typed in actually specifies just hfs:

mount -t hfs /dev/hda10

Maybe try:

mount -t hfs+ /dev/hda10
