You'll have to copy /mnt/s2/etc/make.conf temporarily in place of
/etc/make.conf, if there's any significant difference between the two
systems. Then you can just do:
# cd /mnt/s2/usr/src
# make installkernel installworld KERNCONF=3DFOO DESTDIR=3D/mnt/s2
# mergemaster -m /mnt/s2/usr/src -D /mnt/s2
Alternatively, take a look at the chroot(8) or jail(8) man pages...
Cheers,
Matthew
