Can Norton Ghost, run from a floppy be used to clone a FreeBSD disk?

I clone Thinkpads all the time with G4L. I haven't used G4U but from what I
gather it's what G4L is based on (either the code or the concept - not sure).
You can clone everything including the recovery partition no problem.
The only snag I've run into doing this is with some of the older systems that
shipped with a 15 head hard disk. You can clone them all you want but it has to
be to another 15 head disk. Same limitation applies regardless of the cloning
software.
I usually use an ftp server to store and retrieve the images but I've done it
direct to the new drive via a USB enclosure also.

Subject: Cloning
Any ideas on cloning an IBM T60 Thinkpad with G4U (Ghost for You)? The
T60 comes with a recovery partition. First I killdisk the drive,
re-install Windows XP. Then I want to capture an image with G4U so that
I can clone other T60 machines. Is this possible with G4U? My present
imaging software, Imagecaster, fails.

I don't see why not, as long as you choose the partition option, then
very carefully install the FreeBSD MBR a little bit later.
Note the difference between DOS partitions (actually slices) and FreeBSD
partitions.
