mount confused between hfs and ext2?

[Bill Lovett <blovett1@rcn.com>]

I've got a weird situation with the second scsi disk I just put in my
8500. The disk is formatted as ext2, but I can only get mount to work
if I specify the type as hfs. Check it out--

Here's what mac-fisk says about /dev/sdb:

        #                    type name                length   base
                             ( size )  system
/dev/sdb1     Apple_partition_map Apple                  100 @ 1
                             ( 50.0k)  Partition map
/dev/sdb2    FWB Driver Components FWB Driver Components    1024 @ 101
                             (512.0k)  Unknown
/dev/sdb3          Apple_Driver43 FWB Disk Driver         76 @ 1125
                             ( 38.0k)  Driver 4.3
/dev/sdb4         Apple_UNIX_SVR2 MP3s               4192214 @ 1201
                             (  2.0G)  Linux native

Block size=512, Number of Blocks=4193415
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Drivers-
1: @ 1125 for 76, type=0x1

/dev/sdb4 is Linux native, which is what I want. But if I do this:

mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt -t ext2

which should be correct, I get a "wrong fs type, bad option, bad
superblock on /dev/sdb4" error. Yet mounting with -t hfs works just
fine. What's up with that?
