mounting hfs for shared partition

[MHZ]

That's very true, but remember that:

1)the order of partitions is very important! Besides, If you use OS9 
Drive Setup then I believe you will have to install OS9 (if not, how 
would you get the CD out). On the other hand, using OSX Disk Utility 
will force you to choose either HFS+ or UFS.

2)root (YDL) can write in OS9 and OSX (if you get to mount hfs+). I did 
mount OSX partition and could only access to Folders types YDL didn't 
recognize well, thoug I didn't try harder because I am used to handle a 
HFS partition for all my files and 2 partitions for OS9 and OSX each, 
plus the partition for YDL. Then I allways save files in one part only 
and can access them from any OS.

Good Luck!
