root_fs_i386 is an image of the root fs. So you may dd it to your target
storage. If it's not possible, you may tar the root directory in
build_i386 and untar it on your target machine. If you are not using
devfs, you have also to create the necessary /dev entries, since they
are only created when buildroot is making the image file.

You may, but it depends on whether you have built all the tools you need
to build your apps, such as gcc and binutils. Again, prepare those /dev
entries as necessary (/dev/null is sometimes needed for the .configure
script).
