Certainly. Just do

        dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/molimage count=200000 bs=1024

to create an empty file and then add

        blkdev: /tmp/molimage -rw -force

to /etc/molrc. When MacOS boots, you will be asked to initialize
the volume. Once you have done that (and installed MacOS),
change /etc/molrc to

        blkdev: /tmp/molimage -rw -boot

Good Luck,
