That's what it says. I believed it. That was a mistake.
The fact that this wasn't just "clicky clicky" even on a Mac is hateful. Replacing a hard drive is a user-level action. This should be a simple process.
Or at least something comparable to a simple "disklabel" command. That the combination of HFS+ and UNIX requires worse shenanigans than either is hateful.
But at least Apple isn't Microsoft, and they don't *deliberately* make cloning a bootable system as hard as possible.
