What version of MacOS/System are you running? You won't have a "NewWorld"
ROM (:<boot drive>:System Folder:MacOS ROM) before 8.5, and only the 8.6
or later NewWorld ROM will work with MoL. (Note that you need to use the
correct ROM for your OS, in that case.) With earlier systems, then yes,
you'd use the ROM grabber, and install that as your ROM (that is
considered an OldWorld ROM - don't try to tell MoL that it's a NewWorld
ROM, since it's not).
Exactly which Mac system are you trying to run it on? According to
mol/Docs/0Status, ROM images from the following systems should work:
PowerMacintosh 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600, 8200, 8500, 9600
PowerCenter Pro
Starmax 4160
Umax J700/180
Umax SuperMac C500
PowerBase 200 (180, 240)
Performa 6400
Get 'Rom-grabber.sit' from
ftp://ftp.nada.kth.se/home/f95-sry/Public/mac-on-linux/ and follow the
directions enclosed.
