Thanks, this did work, sort of.... I ended up using the Mac OS ROM 3.6
file. Now I boot and I get the MAC OS 8.6 startup screen but now get System
Bus Error. RESTART!
I install the "BASE OS" on another partion and set that partion to boot. As
my primary disk, I boot into the Mac OS and run BootX manually and choose
linux. Then I run start X and boom I get the System Bus error.
I tried it with extensions on and off both reslut in a system error.
Any Ideas for this one?

I had the same problem, which was resolved by upgrading the nwrom. I
suppose you stripped your nwrom as indicated in the documentation. If
not, do !
I first tryed booting off the rom of my machine, which wasn't supported
at all : result was tons of "unmapped Ram-read access". Secondly I used
a 7200 rom file, which was good with macos 7.5.3 but made mol 0.9.50
and macos 8.5 very difficult to boot (I could sometimes try to run mol
10 times -the booting sequence fell in a infinite "non implemented load
instruction" loop- before macos booted by chance). Then I tried the
nwrom given on an imac 8.5 system cdrom, which didn't start at all.
Then I upgraded to macos 8.6 and the nwrom given on mol web'site. And
everething runs well and fast ! And very kind with my processor when I
switch from mac's console to X (thanks to the doze function)
