You can easily mount ext3fs from OSX with the ext3 mounter. You can also easily mount OSX from within ydl via the following commands. I promise it will take no more than 5 minutes for you to learn how to do this with out thinking twice.
//make sure there is somewhere for it to be mounted to mkdir /mnt/hd2
//actually do the mount mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda4 /mnt/hd2
if you don't know which "dev" to use, then mac-fdisk /dev/hda will help you...its generally the only HFS partition with enough size to store a whole OS.
Once you have found it, it will always be the same. You can also make an entry in your /etc/fstab so that all users can mount this....even auto mount it..

What I've managed to do, is to exchange files between Darwin and Linux (and vice-versa, I believe).
It's a crude way of passing files, but I don't see a viable way. The Aqua Layer doesn't allow me access to Linux's "/usr/public" folder, even though I had set the permission to '666' - r/w for all.
The other option via Linux: Having to mount one of a zillion /dev and see if I can access OS X files from Linux appears daunting.
So the current de facto approach is to create symbolic links to each other's "public" folders and let the Super Users handle the transactions.

I am not quite sure *exactly* what you want to do, but look here for some tips on an extension to invoke ext2 (Linux) filesystem support from within Mac OS X:

Question: What is a simple way to allow sharing files between the two OSes?
You can also see your HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions from within Yellow Dog Linux:

If you have other questions not mentioned in those places, feel free to ask!
