One option would be to do a stage 3 install, which would cut down on
things substantially. 

Personally, for my firewall box (P200 MMX), I install the HD in my
Athlon 1700 XP, set the CFLAGS appropriately to the P200 and then
install it on that. It only takes about 8 hours or so, as I recall, then
I can swap the HD into the P200 and I am off and running.
