With a dedicated unmanaged, a reinstall would be my preference as well. There's an interesting option for this, called mfsBSD. It can be a bit of hassle to set it up the first time (just a bit), but once it's up, it'll give you an image that you can simply dd onto the harddrive(s), and boot from. It then runs only in memory, no longer dependent on the drives, and allows you to ssh in, and do an install just like you would from a dvd. The reason that it can be a slight hassle, is that unless your provider has DHCP, you'd have to configure IP etc in the image, so it'd be able to bring up networking correctly. Other options that can be interesting for setups like this, is using geli for disk-encryption.
