Hi Folks,

I'm the proud owner of a shiny new powerbook G4 with debian-unstable and
OSX installed.  Got pretty much everything configured and working the way
I want....now it's time for MoL.

I've reviewed the docs, touched up my configs, run vidconfig, and tried 
startmol --osx and no dice.  I'm not quite sure what's up...but I am 
wondering if perhaps my choice to install OSX on a UFS partition might 
have been a bad one.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Beware: Beyond this point there lies many many lines of logs, text and 
attachments (and there's more where that came from).....

Here's my hardware info (from OSX System Profiler):
