I wanted to clone them using dd and an external usb hard drive. I couldn't boot 6.x or 7.x CDs on any of the boxes, but I was able to install 7 (I didn't try 6.x) on a usb stick, set the BIOS to boot from the device and run FreeBSD (and dd) from there. These machines have CDRW/DVDR drives installed. I've had no problem running any content based media from them at all, but I haven't tried booting any other media (like WinXP) from them, either.
