net tapping or sheeping on disk-image-based Mol?

The user guide mentions that you may set up network with either a tap or
a sheep, but that it may be necessary to reboot into "real" Mac OS to
set the device properly in the TCP/IP control panel. I'm using the
disk-image Mol that seanano described here:
<URL:http://lists.linuxppc.org/mol-general/200008/msg00014.html>
And, so, there's no way to reboot into "real" Mac OS.
Is anyone successfully passing networking through to the
disk-image-based Mol?
from the User Guide:
"There are many different ways to set up the networking. The simplest
case is when the host is attached to an ethernet network using static IP
numbers. In this case, it is easiest to use the sheep_net driver:
netdev: eth0 -sheep
With this configuration it is necessary that MacOS and linux are
configured to use different IP-numbers on the same subnet. Ask your
system administrator for a free IP-number. The configuration might
look something like:
Linux: MOL/MacOS:
IP 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
It should be possible to ping MacOS from Linux. If it doesn't work,
something is wrong. Open the TCP/IP control panel and check the
settings. After the "real" MacOS has been booted, it might be
necessary to open the control panel and select "Ethernet" because
MacOS sees a difference between MOL-ethernet and built-in ethernet.
AppleTalk should work out-of-the-box using when the sheep_net
ethernet driver is used. (Make sure "ethernet" is selected in the
AppleTalk control panel)."
