Keep in mind that BillyFS(TM) was designed with the braindead idea of storing the start position of the filesystem relative to the start of the disk(!!!) in the filesystem header. If you dd the partition to a new disk with a partition later on, because you enlarged the previous partition, Billy no longer knows about it... I have once successfuly injected new doctored bytes with dd, but it's not worth the trouble. Just tell the boss you need to buy a new doze box, preinstalled... In answer to $SUBJECT, yes, in numerous ways, but I'm not sure they apply in the case here.
