If your OS X drive is being mounted on boot, it must be in your 
/etc/fstab .   Comment out the appropriate line and you should be set.
Are you trying to turn off iptables entirely?  If so, 'chkconfig 
iptables off' will stop it from starting on boot at all.
You can probably just startmol in your .bashrc file, but I'm not sure 
about that.  Read the man pages for fstab and chkconfig to learn more.
