There is OS X CD-booting support in the BK tree. I've also implemented
automatic boot disk detection.

Note: those who are already running from the BK tree should do
a 'make libimport' after pulling the latest changes in order to
get an updated copy of the mol-bootx binary.

I haven't tried it myself (I'm restricted to my laptop at the moment), but I
have had a reports that installing MacOS X from within MOL works.
