MOL on Beige G3 (I'm lost)

I have made it through startmol --test successfully and can get to the
chime before mol crashes.  I have left my OS 9 cd in the drive but mol
doesn't seem to see it either.

My system:
Beige G3/300
256 Mb RAM
OS 10.2 hfs+ /dev/hda7
OS 9.2.2 hfs /dev/hda8
YDL 2.3 /dev/hda11

I am trying to run the OS 9 partition with mol.  I haven't tried OS X.

This is the output of the startmol command:

Can someone out there help me get this running?
