Copy the kernel from mac to linux partition (in binary) somewhere such as in
/boot. This should be the same one you have been using to boot linux. Rename
the kernel something like 'vmlinux'. Then do -
startmol /boot/vmlinux
This will create a temporary system.map file to run mol. If this is alright
then take a look at your /etc/molrc file to make some changes according to your
needs.
Good luck.
