Two links actually:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/
http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2004-10-26/daemonizing-a-new-disk

The first one is part of the FreeBSD documentation set.  The second one
is just a log of what I did to move my FreeBSD installation to a new 200
GB ATA disk last fall.
