This has been informative-- perhaps someone ought to file a PR about having
the installer try to preserve this UID in the MBR...?

Gah. :-) I'm facing a similar situation coming up, as one of my machines has a:

...which I have backed up to both an external Firewire drive, and have set up
a copy of this 250MB Maxtor onto a pair of WDC WD3200AAKS (320GB SATA2) drives
in a nV RAID-1 mirror on an MSI-7220 (K8N) motherboard. A clone of the
FreeBSD 6.2 [32-bit] system worked fine modulo changing the disk device names
in /etc/fstab, using the stock FreeBSD bootloader.
[ It's since been upgraded to RELENG_7 via 7.0RC1-amd64... ]
The Windows XP-Pro(SP2) clone of the disk boots far enough to display the blue
sVGA graphics, but never presents a login prompt. It's not going to be a big
pain to reinstall of the system if I have to, but I'd be happier getting the
clone working than having to merge changes in from a failing drive.
