I've tried it and had no trouble so far on my OldWorld PPC machine with=20=

SCSI hard drives. After installing the rpm, I had to copy the new=20
vmlinux file to the OS 9 partition and place in in the /Linux Kernels/=20=

folder in the /System Folder/. The system booted up fine once I pointed=20=

BootX to the new kernel and everything else works as before - so thank=20=

you Dan!

To mount a HFS+ partition, I use the following command:

#mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda6 /mnt/<name>

where <name> is the directory you want to use under /mnt/ for the=20
hfsplus partition.

I have also tried the modprobe command from /sbin/ thus:

#./modprobe hfsplus

and that seemed to work also.

I have not had time to figure out how to get the hfsplus drive to=20
automount on startup as I would like it to be available all the time.=20
I'd appreciate any input from wiser heads on how to do that.

I've tried it and had no trouble so far on my OldWorld PPC machine
with SCSI hard drives. After installing the rpm, I had to copy the new
vmlinux file to the OS 9 partition and place in in the /Linux Kernels/
folder in the /System Folder/. The system booted up fine once I
pointed BootX to the new kernel and everything else works as before -
so thank you Dan!


To mount a HFS+ partition, I use the following command:


#mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda6 /mnt/<<name>


where <<name> is the directory you want to use under /mnt/ for the
hfsplus partition.


I have also tried the modprobe command from /sbin/ thus:


#./modprobe hfsplus


and that seemed to work also.


I have not had time to figure out how to get the hfsplus drive to
automount on startup as I would like it to be available all the time.
I'd appreciate any input from wiser heads on how to do that.
