Another alternative, if you have a bootable MacOS CD laying around, is 
to copy the .smi file to a floppy (or ZIP or whatever) and boot to the 
CD.  Then you don't have to actually install an OS.  To boot to CD, hold 
down the C button when the computer starts up.  Once booted to CD, you 
can run SystemDisk to patch the OpenFirmware by double clicking on the 
.smi file and opening the volume it creates.
