mounting hfs for shared partition

[Angela Kahealani]

Use the destructive Mac partitioner "Drive Set-Up" from OS 9 or
"Disk Utility" from OS X to partition initially to make 9 and X
happy. If you make an HFS partition, Linux will be able to mount it
Read-Only. Then use the YDL install utilities to change type of
or subpartition any of the partitions you created under MacOS.
Remember Old-World Macs can only boot from the first 8GB of a disk...
regardless how that is partitioned. Thus you can dual boot from
two 4GB partitions at the front end of a multi-GB drive.

Coarse = rough
Course = path

OSX will happily read from UFS
OSX is not happy running from UFS

OSX wants HFS+ to install on
OSX will handle data on HFS fine
Linux can mount RO an HFS partition
