I've got a machine running w2k, linux, qnx, beos and freebsd and there is 
really not much trick to it.

Just keep your 13GB as master and your 4GB as slave. Install a bootloader (I 
use LILO myself but plan to switch GRUB once I grasp how it works) onto the 
13 GB drive.

Then either reinstall FreeBSD onto the 4GB drive or change /etc/fstab (on 
FreeBSD) to make the slices/partitions point towards ad1sXX instead of ad0sXX 
and run ./MAKDEV in /dev to create those ad1sXX. That worked for me once I 
moved a bsd-slice from one drive to another.

So actually, you could make this work without much hassle ;) And I'd 
recommend you use GRUB as bootloader.

Good luck! ;)
