I have no other option than using the traditional method to
install 
BetBSD as I don't have a CD-ROM drive or until Sysinst can
install 
files from the macos partition.  That would prevent me from
updating 
the 1.5 installation with Sysinst as well.  Also, when I
tried to use 
Sysinst to format my Mkfs created partitions and then
install a system 
on it from the installer utility, it made the disk
unreadable to MacOS 
and I had to use Mac disk utilities to set everything up
from scratch.  
  Mkfs was up to date enough to allow me to install 4.0R5 on
a root/user 
partition and boot into it, but when I mounted / and tried
to reboot 
into multi-user mode... "magic numbers don't
match".

To me this all sounds like MacOS and NetBSD disagree about
your partitions.

If you have a full system with pkgsrc, you can always
install HFStools and 
move the sets over from the Mac partition. The tools are
somewhat clumsy, 
but they work.
