Of course. I'm not talking about MOL, but booting natively. I was 
trying to help Brendan get his Mac OS 9 application to run in a way not 
involving MOL.

It's a Disk Copy image, so you'd probably have to convert it to some 
raw image format first. That may be possible with hdiutil in Mac OS X, 
I don't know. (If anyone is interested, I can try it.)
