The instructions for installing NetBSD/macppc say to use the boot floppy.
 It does not say how to CREATE the boot floppy. 

The image on the FTP site (boot.fs) is not recognized as a DiskCopy disk image.
 Am I supposed to use BSD to create the BSD installer floppy, like some insane
 chicken and egg problem?

Also, I don't suppose *BSD (other than Darwin) can mount HFS+ drives?

-F.
