I've used three different ROMs - the one from the Linux2000 install CD,
one from my Mac System FolÿèXÿêXDATA
der, and one extracted from the Tome from the
apple update disk. All three were stripped and put in /usr/lib/mol/rom
All of these give the same results.
I have the following line in my molrc file:
blkdev /dev/hda6 -rw
This points to my 3.9 gig internal HFS+ drive. ( checked with pdisk -l)
I have moved the location of the blkdev line to the front and the back
of the
list of blkdevs to affect load order to no effect.
The boot process runs - I get the gray mac window up, the happy mac
appears and
then it just sits there....
The last part of the output is:......
Mapping GC at 80800000
