Hmm. MOL does not know how to access the real PRAM. It is definitely
not altered as a result of running MOL.

It seems more likely that your boot partition got deblessed somehow.
MOL nowdays avoids exporting it unless the '-force' flag is used
(this is true for MOL/MacOS but MOL/MacOS X lacks this check).

Make sure you don't specify the partition for the boot loader in
the molrc.osx file.
