Thanks,

It works.

I compiled the loadable module hfs.o and loaded onto the system.

I mount the cdrom with:

        mount -t hfs -o fork=netatalk /dev/scd0 /cdrom

I hat to use the option command otherwise all the files where not recognised by the finder.

 Yes you need the hfs (Mac file system) module. See
http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/~hargrove/HFS/

Then you can mount like this (an excerpt from my fstab):

/dev/scd6 /mnt/cdrom/ToolboxAssist hfs ro,afpd 1 1

and export via netatalk with

/cdrom/ToolboxAssist

in AppleVolumes.system
