Okay, here is what to do: you will want to upgrade to 9.0.4, even though
this is unlikely to very helpfull, you should probably do it anyway.
Next, you should get the program Tomeviewer and the latest ROM image that
the page suggests from here: http://maconlinux.org/download.html
Once you have extracted the ROM and you have a copy in Mac OS, move it to a
place that is accessible by both Mac OS and Linux. Then move it to like
/tmp or something and use the strip_nwrom program and move it to
/usr/lib/mol/roms/rom.nw
Or whatever. It doesn't matter, as long as the path in clear to the the
ROM in /etc/molrc.
