Well, it goes something like this:  use the standard NetBSD installation
tools, allowing for installation over the network (ftp, NFS), from a SCSI
tape or CD-ROM, or from a Mac HFS partition.  The installation could be
bootstrapped with kernel containing an embedded miniroot, which could be
either downloaded or booted from CD-ROM.

Obviously, to install from the Mac HFS partition we'd need a working HFS
filesystem that we could bundle.  That's a bit of a hairy issue at the
moment... but not insurmountable.  In any event, this won't happen for the
upcoming 1.3 release.
