Yeah, numerous people have reported that the MacOS installation method no
longer works, giving that /sbin/init: error 8 message :( On the one hand,
it might be good to figure out why, but on the other hand, the install
kernel is a better method in general. The lack of HFS support is a
downside though... and from what I remember hearing, the experimental HFS+
support in NetBSD-current doesn't support regular HFS at all.
