Looks as if mol cannot find a bootable disk.  There are several
reasons why this may happen:

1. You do not have Mac OS X installed.  Insert a Mac OS X installation
   CD and run `startmol --osx --cdboot'.  Anyway, it is unlikely that
   you wouldn't know there was no Mac OS on your machine.

2. You do not have Mac OS X installed on a first or second hard disk.
   mol only scans the first two IDE-disks and the first two SCSI-disks
   by default.  Edit /etc/mol/molrc.osx and specify the Mac OS X
   partition explicitly with a line like `blkdev: /dev/hdx42 -rw
   -boot'.  Again, this is unlikely.

3. You do have Mac OS X installed, but the partition is mounted
   read-write in Linux.  mol knows that mounting disks in two OSes
   simultaneously has a tendency to severely trash filesystems (BTW,
   one OS is often suffcient in the case of the new Linux HFS+ driver)
   and only considers read-only and unmounted volumes.  Mount your
   HFS+ partitions read-only.
