Regarding the installer issues, I'm not sure if they were fixed. You might 
need to install the sets manually.

I've built softfloat sets for mac68k. Currently, m68030 softfloat sets are 
available here:

ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-4_BETA2-030soft-mac68k/

m68040 optimized softfloat binaries will shortly be available here:

ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-4_BETA2-040soft-mac68k/

Please try these out and let us know how they work. Also please let us 
know if the installer works.
