If I have got it ... you haven't yet run the installer or
created/prepared any ext2-partitions? Then ..

... you have to tell BootX (which will in turn tell the kernel...) where
to look for the ramdisks that contain the
installer: In the BootX-splashscreen klick "Options" and then "Use
specified RAM Disk" - you'll get into the standard MacOS
open-file-dialog;
There should be two types of ramdisks in
your MacOS system extension folder (ramdisk-text.image.gz for the plain
text installer, ramdisk-x11.image.gz for the GUI-based installer).
