Reinstall without reformat

Hi all. Is it possible to install FreeBSD without formatting the disk? I have one directory of data that I want to keep. I can boot from the installer and rm every directory except that (/bin /boot etc), but how could I install the OS from there? I've done ZFS on root installs with the shell and mo
