Hello again.. I tried your suggestions and am still hanging. Below is the
status after each attempt
> - the mol drivers are missing (/usr/share/mol/0.9.65/pci_roms/mods.mkext)
they were not missing, just under /usr/local/share/... I added a sym link
in /usr/share, but the error still occured.

not sure how to fix this

nope, only stuff in there is RAM size, other molrc files, altivec, and
blkdev.

Compiled it straight from the tgz src linked on the website.

I will check, and write back.

Yes there were additional error messages, but I can't seem to dump data from
the new console into a file. Below is the last section that I can get off
the screen:
*********start*************
kld(): Undefined symbols:
_copyChildEntry_C15IORegistryEntryPC15IORegistryPlane
_copyParentEntry_C15IORegistryEntryPC15IORegistryPlane
_copyProperty_C15IORegistryEntryPC80SStringPC15IORegistryPlaneul
load_kmod(): kld_load_from_memory() failed for kmod "se.ibrium.iokit.MolPE".

IOCatalogue: se.ibrium.iokit.MolPE cannot be loaded.
panic(cpu 0): Unable to fin driver for this platform: "AAPL,MOL"
********end ************************
The rest looks just like the output I posted before...
Also, each time I try the debugger, it tells me the terminal is too narrow.
I'd sure like to give some better info.
Thanks for the help
