I went through this recently. The fixit floppy wouldn't let me label the new drive. Of course, I'm not super proficient with disklabel, fdisk and friends, so I'm sure it was a PEBKAC issue. :-) I tried running sysinstall from within the fixit flop. Bad idea. It panicked when I tried to commit the fdisk and label commands. In the end, I did an "Express" minimal install from the install disks, booted into single user and did the restore at that point. I'd love to see some step-by-steps for doing this with the fixit floppy.
