Ok, well I've decided to try running mol and so far have had no luck
:-(. I have just installed YDL4.0 and run yum, run the mol video
config app and configured the mount points which looks like:

# -*- perl -*- (for emacs syntax coloring)
#
#  /etc/mol/molrc.osx
#
#  Mac-on-Linux master configuration file for MacOS X booting
#


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Parse other config files (these files are in /etc/mol/)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

include		${etc}/molrc.video	# video configuration
include		${etc}/molrc.input	# mouse and keyboard
include		${etc}/molrc.net	# networking
include		${etc}/molrc.sound	# sound


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Misc Settings
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ram_size:		96
disable_altivec:	no


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# OS X Volumes
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	Volumes to be mounted in MacOS X are specified through the
#	blkdev keyword:
#
#		blkdev:		<device>   [flags]
#
#	where <device> can be a complete disk (/dev/hda), a single
#	partition (/dev/hda7) or a disk image.
#
#	The following flags are supported
#	
#		-rw/-ro		read-write / read-only [default]
#		-force		force usage of device (be careful!)
#		-boot		boot from this disk
#		-boot1		boot from this disk (ignore other -boot flags)
#		-whole		export the entire device (including
#				any non-HFS partitions). BE CAREFUL!
#		-cd		CDROM/DVD
#
#	MOL will boot from CD if it invoked through 'startmol -X --cdboot'.

blkdev:			/dev/cdrom	-cd ${cdboot}

ifempty ${altconfig} {
    # default configuration
    blkdev:		/dev/hda	-rw
    blkdev:		/dev/hdb	-rw
    blkdev:		/dev/sda	-rw
    blkdev:		/dev/sdb	-rw
    blkdev:             /dev/hda3       -boot -rw

} else {
    # alternate configuration
    blkdev:		/tmp/osx.image	-rw
    #blkdev:		/dev/loop0	-rw
}


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SCSI configuration (also relevant for IDE CDs and other SCSI-like devices)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# By default, MOL automatically scans for non-harddisk type SCSI devices.
# If only specified SCSI devices are to be used by mol, change the
# the autoprobe setting below.
#
# Note: IDE, firewire and USB devices typically show up as SCSI devices.


autoprobe_scsi:		yes

# If SCSI autoprobing is disabled then devices must be exported manually

#scsi_dev:		"0:0:0"		# host/channel/id
#scsi_dev:		"1:0:0"		# 



#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# USB Configuration
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Generic USB support. Devices that are _not_ claimed by specific
# USB drivers are seen by MOL. Note: Make sure the kernel is compiled
# with 'Preliminary USB device filesystem' support. Also, for best effect,
# turn off drivers for specific USB devices (like 'USB Scanner support').

enable_usb:		yes

however when I do as myself or root startmol -X I do get tux hugging a
apple and the rotating icon below but mol quickly quits, I then can
find in the terminal this error:

------> The volume '/dev/hda3' is locked
    Unembedded HFS+ /dev/hda3                       <read-only>  14179 MB BOOT

which I'd assume most likely is what is causing mol to suddenly quit
(can't seem to find any other errors...)? how do I unlock the
partition so I can boot mol? MacOS X runs fine when not running from
within YDL...also one last thing, how do I make it so mol runs in a
window and not fullscreen? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in
advance!
