What I would like to do, and about the only way I can see and test ReactOS, is to build from RosBE from FreeBSD or Linux, or Wine, and install onto a USB stick without having to make an intermediate boot/installation medium.

GPT-partitioned 3 TB hard drive seems to preclude installing ReactOS on hard drive.

There ought to be something like "make install DESTDIR=...".

This looks like it really ought to be on ros-dev?
