I'm not sure if that will work or not..what you will probably have to do
is to escape to a shell from sysinst, mount the zip disk manually, then
go back to sysinst and choose install from hard drive, and choose your
zip drive when it asks you which drive to install from.

That means that Open Firmware is set to use the serial port for
input/output, see
<http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-boot-serial> to fix
that.
