Hi,
Ok, I finally got back to this, and I tried following your instructions in
the howto, but I still can't get it to work. I get the following output
from MOL when I try to run it:

DONE
The only thing that I can think of which is unusual is that I copied thhe
Mac OS ROM file from the install CD into my system folder so that I could
do a New World boot. Otherwise, everything is as usual. Also, should I
do a 'hpmount /dev/hda9' before I run MOL? (it doesn't seem to make a
difference whether i do or not.)
So, is there anything strange about my MOL output? or is this normal?
Thanks for any help.
