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

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
