Sorry, I was being a bit too vague there I see.  I either use crochet (or the non-crochet tools, since crochet is broken for me right now) to create bootable .img’s that I can then simply copy to an SD / CF card and boot on the rpi or, as a distinct second choice, I use the rpi to self-host its updating process by building on it.   You’re right (and it hadn’t really occurred to me) that I could also just do the buildworld / buildkernel on an intel box and then mount /usr/obj and do the installworld / installkernel on the rpi.   It’s still no substitute for crochet in creating entire new images, but certainly better than nothing, and I guess I could always update the image in-place and then copy it back the other way for cloning purposes.

Hmmm.  Thanks for the suggestion. :)  That will save me some time.
