It can be either, though you may have problems with disks >4GB. (I still
can't boot off my 4.5GB HFS+ partition, though I should be able to,
allegedly ;)

To get the ROM that MOL needs, you need a MacOS ROM, and use the strip
utility (strip-nw, I think?). Check the files installed by the MOL RPM, and
you'll see what it is. You run that utility on the MacOS ROM, and give it
/usr/lib/mol/rom/rom.nw as the output parameter. MOL should work now :)
And you SHOULD be able to mount CDs... 'mount /mnt/cdrom -t hfs' doesn't
work?
