I like the idea.

One of my first attempts at a 1.4.2 sysinst install trashed the MacOS
partition. Taking that and my experience with i386 installations, I do not
trust sysinst, ummm, very far, when it comes to partitioning - no offense
intended.

Setting up partitions from a MacOS tool (preferably Apple's HD setup) will
most certainly remain the method of choice for me. Safer and faster that
way.
