You mean installing on file system(s) different from ones where you are
starting to operate?  This is really what all "regular installers" do.
Usually you work from a ramdisk but this is not as much as requirement
but the most convenient way to start on something meant to be used in
varying circumstances.  You could install on your target some "skeleton
system", chroot there, and continue with the rest of an installation.
Normally there is no need to do that unless you are are in development
of a new distribution and you have somehow to bootstrap the whole thing.
