In the past, when working on sysinst under alpha, I used to have an extra drive
installed in the machine.  I would generate sysinst images, (the big cdhdtape
ones) and dd those to a drive, and then boot off them.  It's very easy to do
this way.  You can allways crossbuild additional images if you need to modify
something, and just dd another one to the drive.
