There already is a simple program available on acm.vt.edu, that allows you
to access hfs partitions.  i saw this in comp.unix.aix (why do i read that
newsgroup?):

i remeber someone a while ago mentioned writing someting to use foreign
file systems to import BSD partitions directly to the mac side.  i am wondering

src/sys/ufs i believe
