Hello Giray!
If your CD is bootabel (verify it on a real mac) you set your
CD-ROM-drive as the the first blkdev in your molrc.
mol tries to boot from the first blkdev in molrc.
But I do not know if you need a rom-image to boot.
I think so.
Well if it is MacOS 8.6 you can mount the cd within linux and copy "Mac
OS ROM" within " Systemfolder" (in dutch) to your mol-path (donīt forget
to strip_rom)
after that unmount the CD and set your molrc to use this new rom-image.
Now you should be able to boot from the CD and install MacOS on any
partition of your hd (do not mount it in linux, this partition will be
write-protected in mol so you can not install on it.
Think thatīs it.
Your molrc should look like this:
.....
# Newworld booting currently does not work on 601-based machines (but
# the built-in ROM should work for these machines)
#
newworld_boot: yes
newworld_rom: rom/rom37 # path to the stripped ROM-image
........
# Device can for instance be /dev/hda, /dev/hda6 or /dev/sda4.
# The following flags are supported:
#
# -rw/-ro read-write / read-only [default]
# -force export non-HFS partitions (be careful!)
# -cd CD
blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd
blkdev: /dev/hda9 -rw
#blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd
......
