I was going to suggest possibly once the filesystems are created, you
could use the Installer to copy the tarballs in, and use an install
kernel from that point.

But then I remembered -- isn't there a disconnect nowadays between the
Installer and current filesystems?  When the filesystem version number
was incremented, the Installer could no longer work with it.  I don't
know if the installer has been updated to work with current filesystems,
nor if current kernels can still understand the old filesystem that the
Installer creates.

Call me "out of the loop." ;-)
