This can be done directly by using sysinstall to create the partition,
followed by disklabel to create the slices and install boot blocks on the
new drive. Something like the following should take care of the disklabel
step:

# disklabel B -r -w ad1 auto
# disklabel -e -r ad1
...

 To transfer the data across, mount the slices as:

/bkroot
/bkvar
/bkusr
...

Hope this helps,
Mark
