Bug report for new MacOS X compilation

[ted bonkenburg]

Hi All,

I've been lurking for a while.  I'm very excited to get mol working 
under os x and being a programmer am willing to help in any way 
possible.  Of course, I'm also extremely new to os x...

Anyway, following the instructions from this thread I managed to get a 
Mac OS 9.1 boot cd to boot under mol on os x.  Whoohooo!  :-)

I'll dig around the site and mailing lists, but if you have time can 
you answer a question?  Does MOL require a partition for its block 
devices or can i specify a file?  That is, I'd like "hda" to be a 
virtual disk that is contained within a file.  Preferably this is a 
sparse file (does HFS+ support sparse files?).

Also, in the same vein, does MOL support .iso images?

Thanks.  I realize that the os x implementation of mol is not done so I 
don't expect much.  If I can be of help in any way please let me know.
