I have confidence that you'll probably have luck in getting it up..

I bet you could install the "base10" archive and the kernel (I suggest 
getting the mrg - Mac ROM Glue - kernal) on the internal drive (with at
least a 30 MB partition, then install the other archives on a cartridge
and make sure /etc/fstab knows to mount the ufs partitions on the cartidge, 
start looking in "man mount" on info on doing that.

Apple's Utility on the disk tools disk is sufficent, although I'd
recommend Silverlining, or FDW Tools over it (they cost money though,
so it might be better to stick with apple's since it works)

I don't know, ftp the 1.0 binaries from acm.vt.edu:/pub/NetBSD_Mac/1.0/binary
if you can.

Good luck!
