When I did it pre Diablo it worked and was easy.
Now, after a new install of Diablo and the SSU, plus some of the apps, the install does not give me a boot menu. It does repartition my internal and leave me with a 120mb partition.
Building the boot menu looks about as easy as rebuilding with the other pb tool and selecting my partitions etc. or reflashing entirely.

Sometimes you need to reset the default boot option manually, as root inside xterm run this, then reboot.

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2

mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal

mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external

You can also set the default to flash

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash

My install-tools does not do this part of the cloning process. Sometimes it works and sometime you need to run the cal-tool
