No HFS[+] filesystem found

[Isaac Ordonez]

Ok i figure out you need the --osx switch to make it load OSX and it
doesnt complain about HFS+ not being there.  This firewire drive
allready has OS X installed on it (did it on another machine)  but now I
hit another wall.  I ran the molvconfig program and selected some
resoultions but now I get the tone, the HDD light flashes once and I get
the console (VT 9) to a full black screen with a bar about 3/4 the way
down.  the bar startes off a tiny black and grey checkers and then fades
to blue and then black then blue black where it just stayes.  I played
with using X to view it in a window and I dont get anything at all. I
have also tried using root and as a normal user.

 Again, included is the Messages I get during startup:

Thank for helping, I'm excited to get this working.
