I am not good at English, so I think that this is unclear mail. I ask you to
bear beforehand.
I am using gentoo ppc (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r9) /iMac rev.A, B, and G3/DT
. Since it is thought that using mol on OldWorld ppc machines is comparatively
difficult, I am at first trying to install mol to an iMac. Although GUI/X/win
dowmaker is realized, when I do
# startmol
, the screen become white out for a moment and error messages appear. The mes
sages are as follows.

DONE

There seems to be some defects.
It is lack of a few modules, such as sheep and tun, but I don't think they ar
e essential. I think that the defects are in video setting or macos configurat
ion. For the latter I editted in molrc.macos the part
# --------------------------------------------
blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd ${cdboot}
ifeq ${session} 0 {
# default configuration
blkdev: /dev/hda -rw
blkdev: /dev/hdb -rw
blkdev: /dev/sda -rw
blkdev: /dev/sdb -rw
}
# --------------------------------------------
to

blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd ${cdboot}
ifeq ${session} 0 {

blkdev: /dev/hda -rw
blkdev: /dev/hdb -rw
blkdev: /dev/sda -rw
blkdev: /dev/sdb -rw
###
blkdev: /dev/hda6 -rw
}
# --------------------------------------------
but the messages showed no change (I saw "No bootable disk was found!" ).
About video setting I some times atempted # molvconfig. Although the contents
are not investigated yet, I put on below /var/lib/mol/fb_modes built by molvc
onfig.

# The tool 'molvconfig' is used to configure the fullscreen mode.

#fb_modes: /etc/fb.modes # extra video modes for molvconfig
# --------------------------------------------
# XDGA (X11 fullscreen) Settings
# --------------------------------------------
#
# At startup, all available XDGA modes are listed. Unfortunately,
# some of the modes might be broken (depending on the video card
# and the XFree86 version).
#
# By default, MOL uses just a single mode with high
# probability of working. However, it is possible to manually
# specify multiple modes. For instance
#
# xdga_modes: 3 5 9
#
# instructs MOL to use mode 3, 5 and 9.
#
# Cntrl-Cmd-Space leaves XDGA mode and switches back to X
enable_xdga_video: no

I have no idea what points I should care of. Please give me a piece of advice
