It might be possible, if no other method is available, to "dd" copy a disk image to the drive containing the initial MBR bootloader and a bsd.rd kernel. (And preforming a normal install, preparing the disk... configuring network.. etc).

The problem with this is, "reliability", if the installation fails.. or BSD doesn't like the laptop, you won't be able to restore Windows.

If you do decide it's worth it, (and don't care about risking it's current Windows installation.) then prepare a raw disk image via QEMU or something.
