Mac-on-Linux?

[Joshua Wehner]

Hi --

I'm still not having much luck with this -- I'm not even sure if this 
is a YDL problem or a MOL problem.

I was re-reading the MOL User Guide and noticed the command to boot 
from CD. That seemed like a good thing to try, at least. So, I got 
better than a blank black screen, at least, but I'm still not home yet:

[root at marcomm-file root]# startmol --cdboot

On the MOL list, Anil Samuel had suggested I try -X:


[root at marcomm-file root]# startmol --cdboot -X
