They do, and I did, once.  Of course that didn't solve my problem 
that you need some special magic in the partition map to boot 
directly from OF.  I got a nice installation on a disk that would 
boot MacOS, but I still couldn't boot the NetBSD installation.

Also said Mac tools only work with SCSI, which means only OF 1 
machines which are the most "boot challanged" in some ways.  They are 
also the ones which have the least trouble with a boot floppy, so as 
Todd said the benefit doesn't seem large.

Oh, yes, the Mac installer doesn't do the latest version of FFS.
