That's going to be *very* tight with any recent FreeBSD release. You will need at least *one* bootable device besides the hard drive in order to get the install going. You will need to do an absolute minimum installation, and *maybe* add a few things afterwards. You may find that picobsd is the best approach, though... http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html
