Thanks for everyone's help.  I inserted the MacOS-X installation disc 
and there are two installation programs, one for MacOS-X and one for 
software.  I ran the software installation and it gave me the option of 
installing Classic Emulation.

I wasn't sure if this was going to work as I didn't format the partition 
with MacOS-9 drivers but I gave it a shot.  Guess what?  It worked.  I 
was able to run the MacOS-9 application that I needed so this made me 
happy :)  I assume that the driver partitions are not required when 
emulating with MacOS-X.  MOL might be a different story???

I now have a fallback if I can't get MOL working but I'm sure that wont 
be a problem.  Just got to get XF86 working with the PB17, then I'm sure 
MOL will be straight forward.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
