I use mkflash :-). However, I have a client that created a small FreeBSD image from a full image, put that in a tarball. He takes a new DOC, puts it into the system, boots off of floppy/cdrom, uses sysinstall to fdisk and disklabel the disk (I use diskprep), then ftp's the file to the part (using get foo.tar.gz | tar xvfz -).
