Why put you and your target machines through so very much extra
effort!?!?!?
Just create release sets, mount or copy those to the target system(s)
and then either unpack them manually in single-user mode, or run sysinst
to do the upgrade, etc.
In fact the safest and most complete procedure is to go all the way to
building bootable installation media, reboot the target machine(s) from
it, and then run sysinst to do the upgrade.
