Thanks Steve,
So USB2 from a PC should work, which is good. I had problems
booting FreeBSD 7.1 from even the internal drive on the mac mini until
I partitioned it with MBR (as opposed to GUID).. I tried installing
to a USB drive last night, but it doesn't seem to show up when I hold
down option while booting (that normally shows all bootable drives).
I was hoping if anyone has done this for some pointers.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any success in installing FreeBSD 7.1

USB2 or Firewire 800 drive connected to an intel Mac Mini and
successfully booting off of it?
I don't know about the Mac Mini part, but I certainly boot FreeBSD 7.1
from USB2 drive:
