This is quite possible.

I think this error is caused by a bug in the hfs+ implementation
(which is btw. only used to retrieve the Mac OS ROM file) or in
the search algorithms interfacing that code. One of the following
workarounds ought to work:

i) Add a line similar to 

	macos_rompath: 'System Folder/Mac OS ROM'

to /etc/molrc. MOL examines if this file is present before
it performs the search. 

ii) Copy the 'Mac OS ROM' image to linux and specify it
using an "newworld_rom: <rom_image>" line in /etc/molrc.
