[wplug] Mounting Mac HDD?

[Falenski, Matt]

I was able to mount it with mount /dev/hdc /macdrive -t hfs 
but the drive tells me that I am using the wrong version of System.

A file called "Where_have_all_of_my_files_gone_?" is in the root of the 
drive stating that I need to use a version of System >8.0.1 (I think that's
the rev)
There are files called Finder, Desktop_DB, and one or two hidden others.
No folders though, just 5 or 6 files.  :(

I'm trying to be the nice guy here & save any files for the user, but she
was
nothing but livid when I told her there was something wrong with the drive.
(She's even a nun, nonetheless!)

Tnx

what type of filesystem are you trying to mount it as? i believe mac's use
hfs which you might have to recompile your kernel to support. 

is it hanging because you put an entry in the fstab and it cannot mount
that, or is it hanging because when you're booting the ide channels are
being probed?

are you able to run fdisk and see the partitions?
