There are very detailed instructions in '/etc/molrc' which
must be edited to choose various things such as where
you put the ROM file and what you called it. Also which
volumes you want mounted when mol starts, keyboard network
and mouse and what screen resolution you want emulating.
And, of course, the partition where MacOS 8.6 is located
without which mol won't know what to boot.
The *first* time (since each boot) that you run 'startmol'
it will patch the kernel and you need to be 'root', after than
anybody can 'startmol' In order to patch the kernel mol
expects to find a system map in '/boot/System.map' (or
if you compiled your own maybe in '/usr/src/linux/System.map')
so your linux installation needs to be correct otherwise
'startmol' will fail.
There are more "readme" files in the mol/Doc directory
(location depends how you installed mol - if you compiled
it they are in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mol-0.9.xx/Doc)
hope this helps,
Stephen Lewis

> I am trying to get Mol running on my beige G3, but I must not have everything set up correctly because it bails out from the startup process. I get an error involving my rom file and something to the effect of not being able to find the correct file. The Mac OS installed on my 500MB partition is OS 8.6. Anyone able to help get MOL running, it would be very helpful!!! I need to know where I need to change any files to tell it which rom file it should look for and whatever else is needed...
