Was this with or without SoftFPU? After installing, you can disable 
SoftFPU.

I've been looking around in the installer sources and also looked at the
NetBSD FAQ. Appearently they have a version of the installer that does not
need a FPU. The THINK C project file we are using just contains a wrong
setting. Sadly, I do not have THINK C, and compiling the project using
CodeWarrior does not work, since the code uses all kinds of THINK C
specific things. And fixing the installer won't solve the fact that the
IIsi does not boot, of course.
