That's quite an ambitious task. The first thing to do is to reread
the Handbook (you have read it already, haven't you?), and then take
a look at

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html

As for stripped down systems, there are a number of approaches. Search
Google for things like minibsd, picobsd, nanobsd. There are plenty of
pages out there.

Good luck!
