thanx bob for reply

searched for that "installation kernel" 
but couldn't find where it is

so did a bit more silly thing

downloaded several current kernels
and (experimentally) "extracted" them on the hsf partition
booted it from the booter app.
got surprized that it went going a little bit
but
stopped at
asking where the root device is

am stupid about the installation syetem's structure
but found that this was a bit similar to
what i did when installing debian to PPC via hfs+
at that time their "root.bin" was playing the ram-disk roll

now

do we have something like that for
the alternative way to install netbsd-mac68k?

even if we did
the result will be the same for PB190?
