It might help if you change the order in the /etc/molrc file
(put the boot volume first). Also, it might be possible to mount
the missing volumes using a disk tool of some sort (then create
an aliases of the volumes). I've also written a small application
that mounts partitions that got unmounted during the booting (but this
application unfortunately needs to be fixed slightly before I can
upload it).

You can, but it won't change anything. The correct values are
fetched automatically from the "real" device-tree (well, the
L2 clock-frequency setting is left unmodified - it isn't really
used for anything).
