In whatever YDL program you use to check/mount filesystems. You can use
the command line tools or one of your XWindows tools (found in KDE, Gnome,
etc).
Pretty much the same as doing it in Linux; select your HFS partition (eg:
dev/hda?), create a mountpoint, name it if you want (don't have to, and
the name will be different in Linux and MacOS, essentially whatever you
set in each OS) and auto mount paramaters or mount manually when you want
to use it in Linux. As long as you use the MacOS tools to create it, it
shows up in MacOS like any other HFS partition. If you use the YDL
partitioner then it may not mount in MacOS.
"... I think I had read this elsewhere, but how to go about doing it?
Would I ... Linux can mount the HFS (standard) partition. However, since
you have OS9 on there, I wouldn't recommend it. What you really want is a
small HFS partition (just for file swapping, no MacOS on it, a few hundred
MB or a gig-and-a-half at most) that can mount in both Linux and MacOS and
wouldn't screw up your system if things get weird. Don't use the bootstrap
partition, because mounting it in MacOS can cause problems with booting
Linux and MacOS. ..."
MOL is an entirely different beast, but if you want to use what it offers
then you would be able to use Mac drives while running MacOnLinux.
