Its not guessing the file system, add the -t option to specify type:

mount -t hfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/hfs

Other types are fat (FAT 16), vfat (FAT 32), ext2 (linux - usually not
necessary to specify).

As well, it you have it auto mounting (with an entry in /etc/fstab) then
you could just type mount /mnt/hfs.
