You don't need to build an entire image to test changes to the installer.

When you reach the "(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell?" prompt
choose (S)hell. Then you can edit install.sub and/or install.md directly if
you know how to use ed(1) or sed(1), or you can copy pre-edited files from
somewhere else (a mounted file system, a thumb drive containing a tar
image, ftp/http or nfs if you manually bring up the network, etc.)

Once you're done, exit from the shell and the installer will restart, now
with
your changes.
