Is it unusual/unreasonable to install, not update, from a snapshot bsd.rd?

If installing from a snapshot bsd.rd is not too unreasonable, does
everyone doing that edit /etc/pkg.conf by hand to point to the local
mirror's snapshots before re-booting, to pick up the firmware stuff in
the first boot?

In my case, that would be changing

    http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/%c/packages/%a

in /etc/pkg.conf to

    http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/%a

The reason I ask is that, having installed from last week's snapshot
to an outboard drive for experimenting, I noticed, on the first boot,
that it was looking for some uvideo (I think) firmware which it
couldn't find with the installpath as it was.

I changed the path to point to snapshots, then ran fw_update without
parameters, and the only thing it told me was that quirks is up to
date. I was expecting ti o say it found something, but, then again,
the video controller on this guy is one of the unknowns in the dmesg,
if I'm readng it right.

dmesg for the snapshot:
