If you're booting from a 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 install disk, there's no reason
for you to be executing binaries from the snapshots.  All the tools you
need to load the snapshot onto the disk are included in the RAM disk which
gets loaded from the install kernel.  If you exit out of the sysinst
program, you've got free reign to install whatever snapshots you want to
on your system disk using the utils living on the RAM disk.

Eh, given a binary package of ssh, it's not too hard to type 
"pkg_add ssh-1.2.3.tgz".
