Just to provide a different viewpoint, I do it the opposite way. I do
a buildworld & buildkernel on my workstation (which is a nice, fast
box), then do the installation tango on a K6-2 test box that mounts
/usr/src and the file system that /usr/obj is a symlink to. If the
test box boots and everything works fine, I'll then go back to my
workstation, and go through the installation tango with it as well.
