Comments/Problems:

NIC wasn't automatically detected. This machine has a NIC that's driven 
by the bmac module.

During the partitioning phase, I was informed that I didn't have and 
that I would require a New World boot partition, but I was given no 
tools with which to create one. It turns out that this is a function of 
mac-fdisk, to which there appears to be no interface in the installer.

Ultimately, the only method of creating this special partition is to 
drop to a console and run mac-fdisk manually.

Other than that, plain sailing.
