Well, once upon a time (before the oldworld SCSI-code
was retired) I believe it might have been possible to
boot BeOS in the oldworld setting. I have never
tested it though and lots of important functionality
(video, network) would in any case be missing.

It wouldn't be that difficult to add support for running BeOS
under MOL in a more manner (non-oldworld), but I'm not sure
it is worth the effort.

It takes some MorphOS-side drivers to accomplish this.
