AFAICS, the only thing you need to do is 'modprobe hfs'.
Or add the line 'hfs' (without the quotes) in /etc/modules to make it
permanent.
Provided that /etc/fstab contains the line
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
all that's needed is 'mount /media/floppy'.
Another option is to install hfsutils and use xhfs to exchange data
with the hfs-formatted floppy. This provides some conversion options,
notably between Mac text files with <CR> line endings and Unix text
files with <LF> line endings. No modules or mounting needed.
