This is, unfortunately, correct. I was mistaken. The hcopy program in hfsutils can do .hqx files and .bin files but not .sit files. You will have to get stuffit expander. It's a free download from http://www.aladdinsys.com/ *This* you can download under linux and use hcopy to install on your macos partition. Then, you can use it under macos to install bootx.
