I did. See http://w3.trib.com/~ccurley/bare.metal.html for the gory
details. M. Tavasti will want the script "make.fdisk" available on
that page. He/she/it may also want the rest of the package. Note that
the backup and script creation scripts (including make.fdisk) operate
on the system being backed up. I did not intend them to run on
tomsrtbt, and make.fdisk, being perl, will not run on tomsrtbt.
