I've more or less done this, but I don't remember exactly.

What I did (through fuzzy memory):

fdisk, disklabel, newfs a single file system on a 2GB stick.
unpack sets
installboot

Now I can boot from this USB stick.

You can then boot and do the same thing to a disk or something else -
basically a manual install.  In my case I booted from USB and did
fdisk/disklabel/newfs and then mounted a disk via a USB/IDE adaptor
and did dump/restore to the new disk.  (The point was to update to new
laptop hardware).

You could boot an INSTALL kernel from / on the stick.  I think sysinst
has an option to find sets on the local disk, and you can escape to
utility shell to do mount it first.
