Re: No booting from external FW drives?

[James S Jones]

OK. That's what I would expect, as booting from FW drives isn't 
supported in the B&W firmware. It is supposedly possible to make it 
work using a workaround from Ryan Rempel, but I haven't tried it.

I could not boot from the FireWire drive at all. I booted from an 
internal 40 GB IBM Deskstar with OS 10.3.5. I used the restore feature 
of Disk Utility to move OS X from the FireWire HD to a 2nd HD in my G3 
that was a freshly wiped IBM HD. That act returned my ability to send 
mail to this list and another Low End list. It also gave me confidence 
in my backup scheme. I used CCC and also SilverKeeper 1.1.1 by La Cie. 
I found the later easy to use for backing up to a FireWire HD.
