That's been needing doing for a long time. The original installer was
written in a little more than a weekend and is a hack and a half. If
you have any questions about the early code, feel free to ask--I might
remember something about it... :-)
Ever since, say, NetBSD 0.9, I've been wanting to have some way to read
files off a MacOS disk and install from within a running NetBSD... It's
great, though, that folks are working on sysinst anyway, because I think
there are a great many macs that have ethernet and/or CD-ROM drives.
