The easyest way is install FreeBSD on this disk
and then untar over.
Disable all servises before untar - cron, nfs so on.
More powerfull is fdisk, disklabel and newfs disk booting
FreeBSD on another disk
then mount a slise in some dir (/mnt as example)
and mkdir /mnt/usr /mnt/var so on
and mount slises on this dirs.
then untar, then edit /mnt/etc/fstab and /mnt/boot/...
But count, dump/restore is better in regard of precision
of fs details copied.
