Kernel booting from HFS is doable but is tricky enough to be very annoying.
I have worked out a hybrid netboot/diskboot setup using 1.4.2, but it is
quite klunky and I don't recommend it.

Better methods are being worked on, but they aren't ready for prime-time yet,
so the install notes don't talk about them. Things will generally work a lot
better when 1.5 is released.
