Was looking for someone that had done a P2V of FreeBSD, but me google skills was not good enough. So here it goes.
1. Make a VM with disk a bit larger then the source phycial machine.
2. Boot the VM on a FreeBSD live cd
3. Give it a IP address
ifconfig vmx0 inet 10.0.2.59 netmask 255.192.0.0
4. Make NC listen for any input on port xxxx ( )
nc -l 6666 | dd bs=16M of=/dev/da0
5 on the physical maskine you run DD and pipe it to NC.
dd bs=16M if=/dev/ad0 | nc 10.0.2.59 6666
6. wait for it to finish….
