No, you *can* boot from an external HD, it just has to be a Firewire drive.

To the OSX Mavens on the List:

I want to boot my G3 iMac from my external USB drive.
I was able to install OS9 on the external drive, but I can't install OSX. The installer program on my OSX CD says that I can't boot from the external drive.

Is this because the drive is USB or is there another reason?

Thanks,

Larry Eden
