I've always wanted to be able to install and boot NetBSD on my 68K
Macs without needing Mac OS. Here are a few links on the subject:

tv@'s analysis of many ports' boot blocks, including mac68k:

Once upon a time, someone managed to boot his SE/30 natively from floppy:

As he mentions, Linux/mac68k has EMILE, with which (provided your hard
disk is partitioned just so) you don't need Mac OS installed:
