Would this be a good time to remove the "Traditional Method" of
installation (or indicate that it only works for versions less than
whichever one it started failing in)?

I think it broke when the switch was made to ffs v2, but even before
that, it required the entire installation to be within the first
gigabyte on the disk.

Note that the Traditional Method would still be useful, especially for
slow systems such as SE/30 or if a SCSI CD-ROM drive can't be found, but
it would require modifications to the Mac OS versions of Mkfs and the
NetBSD Installer. Including it in the installation instructions could
cause some users to waste time trying to use that method for installation.
