We've been setting up FreeBSD boxes for clients to do some combination
of squid, email, firewalling as well as some custom services.  We
KNOW that these clients will never do proper backups.  Ideally,
we'd like to take a completely configured box and build a CD which
would contain a script which, when run, would partition a new disk
to be exactly the same as what we laid down on this one (even if
the new one is much larger) and do restores of each of the filesystems.
The clients get to lose on their data, we just want a fast restore.
We'd tape the CD to the inside of the box until they call us in
panic mode.  

This seems fairly atraightforward, I dug through ports but did not locate 
such a beaast.  Anyone got any leads?
