Thank you!

Are you running ZFS or UFS on that disk? If UFS, go with the
classical way: use dump + restore. There's a very good example
in the handbook.

Use a FreeBSD live system CD or DVD to prepare the target disk
(install boot code, make slices and partitions); you can also
use sysinstall to do that.
Then go with dump + restore. You'll find more hints when searching
the mailing list archive.
If you're on ZFS, use ZFS's tools to export and re-import the
pool, quite simple.
