Well, I guess you don't really need it but if you have
have a mac-partitioned disk attached then it might be a good idea...

You should get something like this in the log (I get this
with 'blkdev: /dev/hde -whole -rw' in my molrc.osx file).

    Disk /dev/hde                        <rw> 29314 MB 
    CD   /dev/cdrom       CD-ROM         <read-only>   ------ 

If you don't see the above, check your molrc.osx file for
subtle errors. The blkdev statement should go in the session 1
clause (or outside all if-clauses). If you upgraded from an old
version of MOL then you should be extra careful. Old config files
are not necessarily overwritten. OSX used to run as session 5
but I changed that to session 1 due to performance considerations.

The default config files should be available in
/usr/share/doc/mol-0.9.xx/config.
