[Mac-on-linux-users] Newbie, how to set up to boot already-installed OSX, or install CD

I'm new to mol so there may be newbie errors lurking here. I'm also relatively new to Linux (using distro lubuntu 15.10 on PowerPC G5) but not to Unix as such.
I'm using mol-kvm 0.9.73.
I'm having a little trouble getting mol to start up OS X 10.5. It's likely I'm not getting the config files in /etc/mol exactly right.
It's also likely I don't have the best partition scheme to be starting out cold like I am.
I have a drive in my G5's lower drive bay with OS X 10.5.8 already installed, which boots up fine on unemulated PowerMac G5 hardware. Here's a list of the partitions on it, from disktype:
(Ignore "raid" in volume names. They used to be part of a Mac OS X Disk Utility raid set but haven't been for some time now.) $ disktype /dev/sdb

First, I'm a little puzzled that there are multiple Apple_Boot partitions.
The full installed OS is on partition 10 with the volume name "SysRaid"
Should I be able to boot mol from partition 10 (/dev/sdb10)?
My molrc.osx looks like this: (comments deleted for brevity):
########################include ${etc}/molrc.video # video configuration
include ${etc}/molrc.input # mouse and keyboard
include ${etc}/molrc.net # networking
include ${etc}/molrc.sound # sound
ram_size: 2048
disable_altivec: no
blkdev: /dev/sdb9 -boot1 -rw
blkdev: /dev/sdb10 -whole -rw
autoprobe_scsi: no
enable_usb: no
processor: G5
play_startboing: yes
########################
Except for setting a video resolution in molrc.video (1280x1024, instead of my monitor's 1600x1200) the other config files haven't changed.
When I try to start mol up I get this:###############$ sudo startmol -X

I've tried setting molrc.osx to boot from both sdb9 and sdb10 but the result is the same.
And of course /System/Library/Extensions.mkext really is present. I don't know what error is preventing it from loading...
I've had similar problems trying to boot from real Leopard DVD install media, and from an ISO image of the install media.
I guess that's probably enough to start from...
