I upgraded my MacOS to 9.2.2, and I got the flashing question mark
thing, and the undefined gestalt messages:

<*> Unkown gestalt selector 'dvrf'
<*> Unkown gestalt selector 'ofpt'
<*> Unkown gestalt selector 'nmrg'

If I wait long enough, it boots.

However, I have two volumes formatted as hfs/hfs+, and MacOS only mounts
the one it boots off. It mounts both of them fine when running MacOS
natively.

It looks like mol needs some development work to update it, but there
has been no activity on the mol mailing lists for months and months.

I wonder how difficult it would be to implement the missing gestalts...
I presume there would be documentation on Apple's web site about what
they are *supposed* to do?

I also have problems with networking under mol, but I think that's got
something to do with my custom compiled 2.4.18 kernel, because it works
fine with yellow dog's 2.4.10-12a. I must have missed turning something
on in my kernel config...

Ben.
