MOL ROM for New World OS on Old World Mac's

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

When you use tomeviewer you open the Mac OS ROM Update 1.0.smi with 
tomeviewer.  That is where the mac rom file is.  Don't try to install 
the ROM update at all just open it to get the ROM file out with 
tomeviewer and copy it to your system folder.  Then you should be able 
to boot in MOL.  As far as installing OS 9 in MOL, at a command prompt 
type startmol --cdboot while the mac os 9 cd is in the drive and it 
will boot up the mac os install cd.  Then you can just do an update of 
your system and it will install the rom file for you, or you can 
install a whole new system folder if you like.
