Mounting Mac volume, music CD's

I am a relative novice to Linux PPC. I've had MkLinux running on a G3 PowerMac Minitower and I just installed PowerPC Linux Release 4 on the G3. It took a little while to get the system to boot. I never did get it to boot off a floppy. However, Multibooter and BootX fixed my problems. I left the ramdisk.image.gz and vmlinux files in the system folder to allow reinstalls.

The system works pretty well, but I still seem to be having trouble using the CD (to play music CD's) and I can't seem to mount my Macintosh partition. The mac partition does show up in my directory listing but it isn't in the fstab file and it doesn't seem to mount during boot up. Any suggestions about troubleshooting these two problems. On the good side, I can connect to the internet with an ISDN modem (3Com Impact) and Netscape seems to work just fine. Any suggestions about where to find additional Apps, etc. would be appreciated. Can Linuxconf run on the Mac?
