I think you are very confused between the terms "rootfs" and "root of the USB partition". No published hack that I know of requires access to the root filesystem. Simply plug the Kindle into your Mac, and copy the install bin's to the Kindle -- if you feel daring: while most hacks lack the potential to cause serious harm to your device, you can certainly mess things up for a while if you fail to follow the instructions to the letter.
As far as Jean-Yves being rude, he wasn't. He was just being perfectly honest. To reiterate what rfog wrote, if you lack knowledge of UNIX (or GNU/Linux), the Kindle is not the platform you want to learn on.
