I think I had read this elsewhere, but how to go about doing it? Would I
just have to know the had of the partition? I'm not too clear on the format
of that, and the man page doesn't really illuminate things too much (unless
I'm just using the completely wrong command). So would it be
mount hda9 /mnt/FileSharing
or something like that?

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.
