I had the same problem. You have probably gone into the MOL config
and set your Mac partition to Read/Write as in:
blkdev: /dev/hda -rw
This is why MOL is mounting your bootstrap partition and corrupting
it. You need to change this entry to only mount your specific Mac OS
partition like so:
blkdev: /dev/hda9 -rw
Good Luck!
