I don't think it would be all that difficult.  It might work without
any modification, maybe.  The kernel can't touch the 660's disk at all
(since there's no driver yet), so you don't have to worry about losing
its content even if the worst thing happens (what would it be?).
Then, why don't you try? :-)
