Since the hint I gave wasn't enough to point you in the right direction, - search the mailing list archive (http://www.freebsd.org/mail/) for "cloning disks" - be aware you have to tune the cloned drive by hand to get larger capacity into freebsd - try dd if=/dev/rad0 of=/dev/rad1 to clone the drive. Read up on the mailing list what this does, or you _will_ shoot yourself in your own foot. If you want to be on the safe side, swap disks first, then install FreeBSD anew.
