I'm not sure about installation, but my CoCoBoot project is moving along,
and will soon add the ability to install certain modules dynamically at
bootup ( via config file or keyboard )... and soon cobbled blobs of OS9
modules will be a thing of the past.  I plan on making a menu/gui driven
wrapper for creating boot disks for os9.   Maybe this could be extended
toward installing os9 too.
