Hm. Try an install kernel? It's the supported way of installing
NetBSD/mac68k for quite some time, and considerably faster than the MacOS
Installer, too. The only downside that I can think of is that you cannot
install from tarballs on a HFS volume. Instead, you could pull the tarballs
over the network, or from a CDROM.
