Hi,

	I recently installed ydl linux on my powerbook and tried tonight to run MOL.

	Setup phase was no problem, but it seems it has problems with my Open Firmware Version.

	It seems that the Update to MacOS 10.2.8 made some changes to the Firmware. MOL says it can't find a bootable MacOS Drive, even though it shows the right drive during the initialization process.

	Btw. I also can mount the HPFS drive using HPMOUNT and have no problems accessing my Mac OS X data.

	Can anybody help me to figure out how to get MOL up and running?

thanks

	Following is the output written to the terminal by MOL during start-up:
