I am not quite sure *exactly* what you want to do, but look here for 
some tips on an extension to invoke ext2 (Linux) filesystem support from 
within Mac OS X:

You can also see your HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions from within Yellow Dog Linux:

If you have other questions not mentioned in those places, feel free to ask!

Best wishes,
