My old TiBook (/proc/cpuinfo says "PowerBook3,2") is unable to start MacOS9
without my change.

Here is the output of /var/log/mol.0.log *without* my change:

Obviously my PowerBook needs this file.

For reference: I have *no* file named openbios in
/usr/share/mol/drivers. Neither mol nor mol-drivers-macos nor
mol-drivers-linux seems to provide it.


These are the installed packages:
ii  mol						0.9.72.1~dfsg-2
ii  mol-drivers-linux		0.9.70+1-2
ii  mol-drivers-macos		0.9.72.1-1

Note: mol-drivers-linux is older.


Hope that helps
