Always make a good, reliable backup in case you do want to revert back to the old version. There is no other reliable way to downgrade any OS I've worked with (OS X is the closest, but RH is definitely out).
The best way I've known to do this is image to another volume with 'dd' if you have the space on a separate volume, or adding in netcat if not. To save space you can fill your drive out with zeros before hand so it will compress easily The Digital Voice: DD over Netcat for a Cheap Ghost Alternative has a good discussion on this. To zero out the drive before hand, boot off a live CD of some kind, mount the filesystems on the drive you're imaging and run something similar to

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
