This sounds to me like a case of the "insufficient memory partition"
problem.  Did you try giving more memory to the Installer?

PB 520 and 540 are not yet supported due to a floating point emulation
(FPE) bug which has been preventing NetBSD from running reliably on
any LC040 based machine (not just mac68k but any other m68k port).

Just FYI: I'm working on it unless someone else's taken it over
without telling me (which would be no problem, BTW), and I think we
know how to fix it, but I have had little time to do the actual work
due to a personal matter.  IOW, it'll be available when it is
available.  Sorry, folks.
