I had messed up my partitions trying to set up my Mini to dual boot  
with Ubuntu as well as OS X (I changed my mind after discovering that  
there was no Linux driver available for the Broadcom Airport chip-- 
there is now, but that's another story).  I made a backup using  
Superduper, re-partitioned the drive and then restored from my FW  
drive.  It was a piece of cake.  I highly recommend it.
