yes you have a shell (a small one) into the install menu: at the first step
(iirc when it proposed you to format your disk), you can browse the menu
with arrow key [up/down] until something like 'Escape to shell'; there press
enter.
(not sure that "Alt-F[1..6]" works at this stage?)

I do think that it should be possible by following crosscompiling recipe
(I tried at the very first age of puffin, I was near when the first CD came
out and allowed me to install my first 712).
