use the "mount" command to mount your Mac's HFS partition....
you should know what it is called when you installed.
For example, I mount my HFS parition by using:
mount -t hfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/hfs
(you will need to do a "mkdir /mnt/hfs" to create that mount point the
first time)...
mount does the mounting, "-t" tells mount what kinda format the parition
is in, "/dev/hda5" tell mount which partition to mount and "/mnt/hfs" is
where I can then access that partition in the Linux filesystem.
"man mount" if you need more info.
If you need to access the files of the cdrom, "mount /mnt/cdrom" (I think
you don't need to tell it where to get it because it is already in your
fstab - file system table?)....
Cool?
