oops, well turns out I had a unnessecary second entry for the mac
bootdisk which was causing it to be mounted twice which explains why
it was 'locked'....mol now starts with MacOS X successfully but I
still have a problem :-(...how do I make the mol session just a window
and not full screen...I've tried changing enable_console_video: yes to
enable_console_video: no in molrc.video which made it a window but the
resolution was something like 8 colors and everything was off
centered....is there any specific way to make the sessions windows
while keeping the full resolution? any help is greatly appreciated,
thanks!
oh and just in case it's needed, here's my full molrc.video file contents:
# -*- perl -*- (for emacs syntax coloring)
#
# Mac-on-Linux video configuration
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Startup Resolution (this is used as a hint only)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
resolution: 640/480/75 # width/height/Hz
depth: 32
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# X11 Settings
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Some config options:
#
# xdisplay: remote.host:0.0
# use_backing_store: yes/no
#
# Backing store is primarily useful if the X-connection is remote.
# Note: X11-video is not as fast as full-screen video.
enable_xvideo: yes
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Fullscreen (Console/fbdev) Settings
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# The tool 'molvconfig' is used to configure the fullscreen mode.
#
# Some config options:
#
# vt: 9 # VT-number to use
# gamma: 1.0 # gamma (parameter between 0.1 and 1.0)
# gamma: 1.0 1.0 1.0 # gamma (r,g,b)
#
# Ctrl-Cmd-Space switches back to the orignal VT
enable_console_video: yes
start_on_console: no # switch to console initially
autoswitch_console: yes # allow automatic switching to console
#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
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# VNC Settings
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# For VNC information, visit http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
#
enable_vncvideo: no # Enable the VNC server
vnc_port: 5900 # port to use for VNC
