I use the Norton ghost program. You have to first install ghost on a
window box and then create a ms/dos bootable floppy with ghost on
it. Them boot your FreeBSD box with that floppy and ghost image the
hard drive with mbr to cdrom or dvd. You can then boot the target
box with that same floppy

Hmmm... Could you tell me more about how the fixit images work?
Boot up your FreeBSD install media, select the 'Fixit' option (it's
most of the way down, keyboard shortcut 'f'), and then choose
'CDROM/DVD'. You'll have a basic FreeBSD install in memory
Thanks for this!
Unfortunately, I don't really have access to a Windows PC, and I'm
also not sure I have enough space to both store an image, and extract
the files from the image to the same hard drive...
I'm thinking of trying the instructions here:
