Not to sound facetious, but can't you just use: "cp netbsd /netbsd.stable"
or whatever?  After all you will need to type "boot netbsd.stable" to get
the boot loader to run your test kernel.
For testing / development you probably don't want the "make install" target
anyway.  Well, at least I have never done it. :)
