Hi --
I'm still not having much luck with this. I was re-reading the MOL User
Guide and noticed the command to boot from CD. That seemed like a good
thing to try, at least. So, I got better than a blank black screen, at
least, but I'm still not home yet:
[root at marcomm-file root]# startmol --cdboot

Then I remembered Anil Samuel's suggestion to try -X:
[root at marcomm-file root]# startmol --cdboot -X
