MacOS did finally come up from a CD, but wanted to reinitialize the hard disk. I tried to re-install MacOS twice to get back to BootX and look at your issue, but the install just hung. Something you could try: Boot the rescue image and try to get the initrd the installer created from the Linux side to MacOS. You'll need either a network up or an HFS partition you can mount to do the transfer. I've got some other, non-computer things todo today, but I'll get back on this on Monday.
