Hi,

Compiled MOL off an rsync tree this morning and attempted to boot OS X.
I'm having no luck...

The X window stays at the yellow screen with the MOL icon (cute icon, btw).

If I try booting OS X with the default config, it states an unknown CPU
ID and tries to use G3 mode.  In that case, I get the "you must restart your
computer" error.  So, I added "processor: 604" to the molrc file.

Note that I did not add any other block devices because I want to see
if the CD will boot first.

Any pointers?

Here's the boot log:

At this point it hangs.
