DOH, misread it.

Well, you MIGHT be able to do it, sortofkinda like, this way.

(and I'm just totally spitballing here)

boot from classic OS CD. like 8.6 onto clamshell, System A

Partition the drive into a large partition and a small one.

install 8.6 on the small one.

connect SYSA to a network with the device with the system to be  
cloned. (SYSB)

share the large partition on SYSA

Mount the large partition on SYSB, clone drive to mounted partition.

Shot down, disconnect A from the network hold down optio key to see if  
you can boot from large partition.

You can then use a utility to delete the small partition and re-merge  
it with the big one, if you want.
