Finally its possible to virtualize and run m68k System 8.1 under qemu-system-m68k and also install/load NetBSD alongside it (on separate virtual disk) All thanks to https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/m68k-qemu-on-osx
Also thanks to the M1 performance the experience is quite nice
In the video you can see loading Macintosh System 8.1 m68k under qemu - and loading NetBSD 9.2 m68k via booter. From NetBSD VM we ssh to the host to create a SSH tunnel and connect to the remote X11 via Xephyr for a better desktop experience (I have custom compiled CDE on the NetBSD m68k - the howto you can find here - http://45.76.81.249/NetBSD/m68k/

Also you can see that its possible and usable to load yet another nested Macintosh m68k system from within the NetBSD (System 7.0.1) and OSF/1 via gxemul just to give you an idea how it looks like from the m68k
