Sounds like you have been bitten by the HFS loader bug. It shouldn't

If you whish to run MacOS 9, you will have to copy the MacOS ROM
file from the System Folder to your linux partition and specify the
path in /etc/mol/molrc.macos. (I have posted a few times about
this earlier this month; if you need more info, you may want
to take a look at the mailinglist archive)

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this bug locally.
