    Do you mean installing what we already have as a result of building
    a debug kernel? In that case, this is already easily done by:

            make buildkernel CONFIGARGS=-g
            make installkernel
            mkdir -p /usr/somewhere
            make installkernel.debug KODIR=/usr/somewhere

    As a result of running this, I have:

    ru# ls -1 /usr/somewhere/ |grep '\.ko\.debug' |wc -l
         386
    ru# ls -1 /usr/somewhere/ | grep -v '\.ko\.debug'
    kernel.debug
    linker.hints

    Cheers,
