Uh...  Because no one's written the drivers, yet?

It's not in the std. NetBSD sources.  It's available on puma, though, as
pub/NetBSD/cray-ymp/progs/hfs-0.00.tar.gz.  It could use a bit of work
to clean it up, etc.  I'd also like to see a read-only filesystem module
for HFS.  I started on it, but have since been working on other things...

It would be a fantastic contribution to NetBSD/mac68k if you want to do
the floppy driver, cleanup/extension of the hfs program, a vfs module to
read HFS partitions, or a ProDOS utility/vfs module...

Useful for HFS/vfs work:
	Inside Macintosh: Files
	McKusick, Marshall Kirk, "The Virtual Filesystem Interface in 4.4BSD",
		in The USENIX Association's _Computing Systems_
		(Vol 8, No. 1, Winter 1995, p. 3)

The Virginia Tech library had the above issue of _Computing Systems_ in
the current periodicals.  I didn't join USENIX until summer '95.
