i have not tried mounting an external HD per se, however, I have a USB 
CF (compact flash) reader and mounting it under ydl was fairly easy.  
Check your boot messages (while booting or by using the "dmesg | more" 
command) for items listed as "san" where n=some number.  This is the 
standard linux label for SCSI bus drives/block devices.  My CF reader 
mounts as "/dev/sa1" using standard "mount" syntax.  You're running ydl 
4.x so  HFS+ support should be enabled in your kernel by default.

if any other list members have another solution, please post to the 
list... as i said, i have not mounted a "hard drive" just my CF reader.

cheers,
matt
