If you want to mount the HFS partition infrequently, then, as
root from the command line:
mount -t hfs /dev/hdaN /mnt/mac
where N is the number of the MacOS partition you want to mount.
The directory /mnt/mac (the mount point) MUST already exist.
You can mount it anywhere you line: /mnt/mac is just an example.
If you want to mount the HFS partition automatically on every
boot, then add the following line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdaN /mnt/mac hfs user,exec 0 0
again substituting N. Details: man 8 mount
