HFS is supported by the kernel, but the max size is 2GB,
max number of files 32000.

Use mac-fdisk to create the partition(s), make it (them) type
Apple_HFS. Then boot back to OSX to format it; and be sure to choose
regular old HFS, not 'Extended' which is hfsplus. There are some Linux
hfsplus utilities now, but not kernel support yet AFAIK.
