No bootable disk found

Hi. I'm using MOL 0.9.70 from Ubuntu. Mattias was nice enough to send me his
patched 96M bootx loader, which worked (thanks Mattias!) but the MacOS X
installer told me it couldn't install on the "disk" I gave it (a 15G
partition at the end of the physical drive) because the partition it made
wasn't in the first 8GB.
Well, whatever. I rebooted and installed MacOS X natively (ie: outside of
MOL).
Now I'm getting this:
CD /dev/cdrom CD-ROM <read-only> ------
----> /dev/hda2 might be a boot-strap partition.
------> /dev/hda3 is linux-mounted with write privileges.
Could not open '/dev/hda3' with read-write permissions
Unembedded HFS+ /dev/hda5 <rw> 128 MB BOOT
>> ==================================================
>> MacOS X Boot Loader 0.9.70
>> SyncRead: error
>> SyncRead: error
>> --> Boot loader failure: No bootable disk found
My molrc just has:
blkdev: /dev/hda -rw -boot
Parted reports the disk is partitioned like so:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1kB 32kB 32kB Apple
2 33kB 1033kB 1000kB hfs untitled boot
3 1033kB 60GB 60GB ext3 untitled
4 60GB 63GB 3000MB linux-swap swap swap
5 63GB 63GB 134MB hfs+ eXternal booter
6 63GB 80GB 17GB hfsx untitled
Any ideas as to what I'm missing? I'm excited to get this working since the
installer was so responsive under MOL :)
Thanks
Neale
