Try:
hmount /dev/sd1c
That should mount it, assuming that you only have 1 partition on that
drive. If you have more, do a disklabel on the drive and figure out
which partition letter it is (c accesses the whole disk). Keep in mind that
the hfsutils don't actually mount the filesystem in the BSD filesystem,
so there is no need to specify a mount point or anything like that. I
would recommend using either the shell (hfsh?) or the X browser (xhfs) if
you are going to access your Mac partitions. It's much easier that way.
I hope this helps.
Later.
