Hello all...

Here's the situation, im running OSX 10.2 and am almost able to boot into it
from MOL.  It seems to go a bit then hang.

When I boot 'startmol --osx' I get a grey screen and a little spinning icon.
The icon never stops spinning, but neither does osx load either.

When I boot 'startmol --osx --config=v', I get all my text that reads as
follows:

this is where it just sits.  The log from the first terminal looks as such:

any ideas jumping this particular hurdle?
