Mattias,

You semi-rock!  This works around the issue I was seeing with MOL
0.9.71pre1 (the Gentoo ebuild I have) booting the CD, but
unfortunately the OSX install says "Bundled Software cannot be
installed on this computer".  I increased the file partition size to
1GB but that didn't help.  Anybody any ideas why that might be?

But thanks, at least I now know that the booting wasn't something dumb I'd done.

Matt
