yeah, pretty much.
the url should be something like:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3.2/mac68k/binary/sets/kern.tgz
i think. the ones you're looking at are most likely:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3.2/mac68k/binary/kernels/kern.gz
and are only gzipped, not tarred. the installer doesn't understand
gzip-only files (i'm not quite sure why, but hey, that's the way it is...)
later.
