Doesn't sound wrong but don't have my script to compare now.

1. boot some working environment with tools like gpart, newfs, mount
2. gpart your usb drive (or not if you want to use full drive)
3. newfs that
4. transfer tar.gz of rspro/root contents and utar it into new drive
5. reboot with correct rootdevname

Does that sound better? :)
