Yes.  NetBSD uses sysinst for (I think) the majority of ports.  The
sysinst utility should probably do much of what the Linux install utility
does (I don't know for sure as I've never installed Linux before). Thanks
to Bob Nestor, we now have sysinst code for the mac68k port.  I'm working
on getting it integrated into the tree (although I've hit a couple of
snags, which is why it's not in there at the moment).  Once it's 
committed, I suppose we'll still need to make sure that booting from a
miniroot works, but at that point, we should be pretty good to go...

Later.
