The OS doesn't matter at all.

I'm talking about installing raw OS images, any OS, to a hard drive.

Mostly FreeBSD, but it could be others.

I'm talking about a raw copy of a drive image.  I need to install them to
machines that can only pxeboot.

It's possible they can boot a USB drive, but that's not always going to be an
option.

Thanks.
