I am wondering if there is a way to setup a server using FreeBSD4.7 and after I have it configured to my liking, can I clone it then put the image on a system that has completly different hardware? Is it the 'dd' command I need to research for this or is there some other way?
Use "dump" and "restore" to backup entire filesystem images, since that will handle special device files properly. Note that you can also simply copy over /etc/rc.conf onto a fresh install of 4.7 and that will include all of the system config stuff you've done.
