I am making progress. My first problem of blank screen turned out to be there
was no resolution defined that it like in the molrc.
Next problem with the unimplemented instructions turns out to be only if I
boot the HD installation I have. If I boot the MacOS from CD it works fine.
My guess is I got a boad or wrong nw rom file. I copied it from someplace on
the CD since my "old" Mac doesn't have one in the system folder.
So, now I am off exploring how to get a correct Rom.
Also, the Users Guide and FAQ's are very miss leading for us folks on older
Macs. You MUST edit the /etc/molrc file and fiddle with things -
1. the FIRST defined blkdev is the one it tries to boot from.
2. the screen res is important
3. the mouse definition is probably worng - I changed to /dev/mouse and adb
instead of console.
4. Memory - bump it up if you can.
Anyway, I can run from CD boot now - but I just found I have a problem with
my mouse - the buttons don't work!
grrr - I don't know if this is because it is a kensington turbo or not - I
guess there is more fun to be had before I am done installing this....

-- Better to stay silent and let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
