The removable part makes it trivial.

We use some custom scripts to create 32M and 64M parts all the time
with a CF adapter and desktop ISA card.

With 4.4 you should be able to do something like:
	make buildworld
	fdisk -I ad8
	disklabel -rw ad8s1 auto
	newfs /dev/ad8s1a
	mount /dev/ad8s1a /mnt
	setenv DESTDIR /mnt
	cd /usr/src/etc
	make distribution
	cd ..
	foreach i (dirs-of-interest)
		(cd $i && make install)
	done
