Look at src/distrib/mac68k/inst-common/Makefile.inc for some clues as to how
one can make such boot images. Basically you need to copy the items onto 
a 1-mb-sized vnode disk, and then dd the raw vnode disk partition into a file,
and then copy the file out to MacOS. (I've not tried it, but I'm looking into
installation from BSD-side, so I may try it myself soon.)
