I'm trying to run mol on a Apple PowerMac 7300 with a debian installation
running a 2.2.12 kernel. When I installed the 0.9.24 rpm, it booted MacOS
8.1 (the only version of MacOS I've got) and ran fine (except for a problem
accessing files on one of my HFS partitions which I suspect is might be
fixed by 4 Gig partition changes). Unfortunately, when I tried 0.9.28
through 0.9.39, they start to boot MacOS, but seem to hang just before they
should bring up the BootX extension dialog. I set newworld_boot to no, and
comment out the rom_image and oftree in /etc/molrc, so that I can just get
the ROM/oftree from my actual machine. Other than the script output (below)
I haven't been able to get anymore information about what is going wrong.

Here's the output I get from startmol (saved using the script command):

I'll be happy to try to help diagnose this, if somebody can tell me what to
try.
