I appreciate the replies I have received so far. I'm afraid I wasn't very clear. This is the conference proceedings CD that everyone received at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference in Monterey a few months ago. (a.k.a. the Perl Conference). Much of the same content is available at http://conference.oreilly.com/cd/ but I'd like to look at this CD. I can mount it just fine on my PowerMac, and it reports it as an HFS partition. I can't imagine, though, that the CD handed out by O'Reilly would _only_ contain an HFS partition, 'eh? xhfs sees it just fine. I've actually successfully copied the data from it to my FreeBSD box with xhfs. However, I'm still curious: how would I tell what partitions are on this CD from FreeBSD? It claims it is not a cd9660 filesystem, which is at least partially right, since the Mac sees an HFS filesystem. But what if there're multiple filesystems? How can I get FreeBSD to mount one of the other partitions? Enquiring minds want to know! --Paul M.
