Yes. Download the latest MOL (0.9.66) from
ftp://ftp.nada.kth.se/pub/home/f95-sry/Public/mac-on-linux/
With 0.9.66 you can boot from the Jaguar CD and install Jaguar on your
HFS+ partition. The cdrom blk is already set for you, no config work
necessary. I would set (in /etc/mol/molrc.osx), the blk dev/hda to point
to your OSX partition AFTER you install OSX from your bootable cd (i.e.
blk /dev/hda13). As far as 0.9.65 is concerned - it was not capable of
booting OSX cd's. And the reason it is not seeing your HFS+ in 0.9.65 is
because, in order for it to see it, you need to recompile the kmods from
the .src version of 0.9.65 and from there go to /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc
and copy the new .rpm to wherever you originally installed the kmods (I
did it with mol itself as well). 0.9.66 is very, very nice!!! The
molrc.osx is so easy to manipulate. The command to use to boot OSX from
the cd (0.9.66) is in the /etc/mol/molrc.osx towards the bottom. I hope
this helps!!!
