The usual way would be to extract coef2 from the object returned from  
the first invocation of lm(...)  and use it to calculate an offset  
term in a second model. It would not have any variance calculated  
since you are forcing it to be what was returned in the first model.  
Now, what is it that you are really trying to do with this procedure?
