This is what I tried first. But when I tried it this way, it would run
fine until MacOS finished booting, then the screen would go black, and
the MOL would be about 1/4 of the desktop in a small window of my X
desktop. I researched the mailing list, and it was suggested on there
to actually login on a separate console, so I tried that. In this way,
it stays up just fine, until I switch console windows.

I'm using control-option-f7

Thanks for the help.
