untarring the sets and copying the kernel by hand is not recommended.
I used the perfect phrase for this in a presentation on PF a week ago:

Err, I do this all the time.
if there is a better way I would love to hear it.
as I pretty much had to figure it out myself.
See my use case is I have a number of netboot trees
and when I want to update one of them I have found the best way is to
untar all the sets and put the kernel where it can be found, really I
just more or less followed what the install script did.
The hard part was getting /dev(first sparc64 machine) built. I think I
used bsd.rd for this. I was going off the theory different archs would
have different dev numbers(I could be wrong)
Every once in a while I work on scripting the process but this is just
for fun right now.
