If it's HFS formatted, it is very unlikely that the data portion is on
the first partition as the partition map uses that. Stick the disk in the
drive and do:
pdisk -l /dev/sdb
(this is based on your dmesg output - although your fstab listing shows
sda?)
This should tell you what partition you need to mount.
