Hold that thought!

Would it be cool, or what, if we could boot from CD with the 'c' key??

Do we know enough about how Apple does this to build a bootable CD?
(NetBSD, or course)

Along those lines, (and I know this has been discussed ad nauseum) it
should be pretty easy to port the 68K install tools to PPC.  Is there any
good reason these tools could not be used to install NetBSD installations?
I know the booter would not work, but the install tools should be pretty
close to a clean port.

As it is now, it is *required* to boot a kernel to do an install, and it
would be nice to do be able to do the install from MacOS in some cases.
