Hi,

I'm trying to run Linux in Mol.  I got it to boot yaboot and
I can see the yaboot prompt, but I get msgs like:
hd:15,/boot/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid device
for both Gentoo and Debian.

I guess it is something not properly configure.  I have included
my molrc.linux file.  I will continue to play with it.

I added the yaboot lines based on molrc.linux.dpkg-dist and I don't
remember having modified the other.

My current OS with mol is Debian mixture of testing/unstable.
My MOL version is a rsync version 0.9.68.


Thanks in advance,
David
