Two things. One, you could use DESTDIR to install the stuff, but it
won't create a bootable disk. This + mergemaster is a good option to
update an existing disk.
The other option is do mount /usr/obj on the target machines and do an
make installworld. This usually takes me about 20 minutes or so,
which is much faster than any hardware-hacking I'd need to do to get a
disk from one machine to another.
