Thanks Sam for this it works a treat.

Unfortunately, now I've got 9.2.1 (upgraded to 9.2.2) I can't put
MacOS X onto the same volume. This disk just isn't recognized at all
under MacOS X.

I've got this in my molrc.osx file

blkdev:	/dev/hde8	-rw -force
blkdev: /dev/cdrom	-ro -boot

These two lines work in the molrc.macos file, but MacOS X just can't
see the disk. 

Any ideas on this one ?

Alan.
