[Gllug] Mount -t hfsplus problem

[gunzip]

One of my Mac OS X 10.4 SATA drives is failing to boot so I used Ubuntu PPC 
6.0.6 in live mode to inspect the 2 disks.

fdisk -l /dev/sda

... and

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

... show virtually identical information so the failing drive, on /dev/sdb, 
seems to be as readable as the other. I am able to successfully mount the 
good drive with:

mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /mnt/mac

.... but the same command on the failing drive:

mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/mac

... returns: "mount: not a directory"

Do I take it that this failing drive is no longer accessible by mere mortals 
without a dust-free lab for splicing platters?
