The G3 B&W and G4 Yikes can not boot from the firewire port. It is a limitation of their BIOS.
You can boot from a second internal ATA drive if you have a free IDE disk. -----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maaki Sent: August 7, 2004 11:30 AM To: G-List Subject: Booting from External FW HD? The B&W G3/450 Rev 2 that I just acquired has one internal 68pin 9GB SCSI drive with Mac OS 9.2.2 freshly installed. I've heard it is best to use a separate partition for OSX 10.3. Can I boot that G3 from an external FW HD on which OSX is installed? What do I need to know about adding an internal ATA drive? Maaki -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
