Some install kernels are built this way (the i386 install kernek for example).
Look at sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL and distrib/i386/floppies/
especially for things using md and mdsetimage (and man pages for these too).
vnd-related stuff are used to build the ramdisk image (and also the floppy
images).
