Hi All,

I can't seem to boot OS 9 at all with 0.9.71pre6, from CD or hard 
drive.  Has anyone else had any success with this?

Here is what I get when I try:

frohro@frohne:~$ startmol
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.71-pre5 [Jan 2 2006 20:35]

Autoswitching to console


I did compile with debug support enabled, but when I try to run with it 
I get:

frohro@frohne:~$ sudo startmol --debug
Password:
*** The mac-on-linux debugger appears to be missing.
*** Perhaps MOL was compiled without debugger support?
frohro@frohne:~$

I see a few others on the Yellow Dog Linux mailing list with some 
similar problems.  The sheep driver works for me just fine in OS X.  
(Interesting to note that the sheep driver was NOT recommended for OS X 
on the maconlinux.org site.)  I wonder if some of the patches broke OS 9 
support, perhaps the sheep ones, perhaps some others. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob
