I think I'll have to fix this the search algorithm such that
it ignores the BootX file. It might cause problem if OS X
and MacOS is installed on the same partition.
A workaround for this problem is adding something like
macos_rompath: 'System Folder/Mac OS ROM'
to /etc/molrc. Explicit paths are tried before a full
search is tried.

Yes... the OS X drivers are not bundled with MOL (since they
are not nearly finished yet) and the molrc file needs special
modifications.
I'll resume the work to boot OS X inside MOL eventually.
I've got to the system up to the point where the login
box normally appears. The priority, however, is putting
together a 1.0 release (polishing a some rough corners).
