Try this:

[1] in a console, get superuser privileges ("su")
[2] using vi or pico, edit the file /etc/fstab
[3] add the line --

/dev/hda10    /mnt/macos    hfs    noauto,user,rw    0 0

[4] from the console, as a regular user, type "mount /mnt/macos"
[5] Voila!

The "noauto" prevents the partition from mounting at startup; the 
"user" allows user access (why this isn't the default is beyond me), 
the "rw" lets you have read and write access.

Best wishes,
Clint
