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,
