It looks like I essentially have to do a full installation of FreeBSD, now 9.0-BETA3, into /compat/i386 . I was planning to install FreeBSD 9.0 i386 onto a 16 GB USB stick to be able to run on the older computer; build ports using the new computer hard drive. Then I wouldn't have to install the ports tree redundantly on the USB stick. I would boot USB stick on the old computer using Plop (http://www.plop.at/). The USB-stick installation ought to boot on the new computer, or I could mount its root directory to /compat/i386. Building ports on a USB stick on the old computer would be prohibitively slow: 256 MB RAM, USB 1.1 on motherboard. I don't really want to freebsd-update my FreeBSD 8.2 installation on the old computer for fear of running out of disk space; also portupgrading everything would be too cumbersome even on the hard drive, and then 256 MB RAM might not be enough.
