Basically, I build live into my system.

I build the kernel, boot it, then build the system into /.  Reboot the
system again, and if things work OK, make the snapshot.

Some people might say it's foolhardy to build into /, but I've been doing
it since the beginning of mac68k, and have had to reload from my earlier
snapshots only once.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
