I'm not sure those messages mean much -- I see messages from tun on
the vt when mol shuts down.

Did you configure tun in MOL? Maybe there's something strange about
the configuration. Do you have a DHCP server on your LAN? (I do on my
router, so the MOL instance gets an address. It actually confuses the
router, because it's giving two IP addresses to the same hardware
address, but it mostly works anyway.)

I am guessing it's also possible it's a Macintosh extension that is
doing something strange -- have you tried switching to the vt and
holding shift to disable extensions while it boots? (The FAQ says you
may have to press shift a couple of times and then hold it because the
first keystroke gets lost.)

Just for comparison, here is what my MOL console output looks like
when booting MacOS 9.2.2 (and as we've discussed, I'm running the
0.9.70 release, which seems to be the stable version):
