It's called FIPS, and it's available on the FreeBSD ftp sites in the
tools/dos-tools directory along with some other useful programs.

However, note that you will need to compress your hard-drive (move all
the data to the beginning of the partition).  Since your friends box is
new, the disk is probably compressed already unless he has installed a
lot of software on it since he got it.  DOS starting with version 6
comes with a disk compresser, but I can't remember the name of it off
the top of my head.
