We should probably remove uid=/gid= from HFS+ don't you think? 

And yes, I think it's probably fine to treat HFS like FAT; we just have
to be careful to properly mask out HFS partitions on OpenFirmware based
Mac's (e.g. PowerPC) but we already do that...

So I think if you update the patch so it removes uid=/gid= from HFS+
we're good to go. Thanks.
