It doesn't sound like this hack would work for the situation where the internal drive is hosed, and I want to "boot" from my firewire drive backup and clone back to the internal. That's the primary reason I'd want to boot from firewire. Or would this still be likely to work because the helper part of the drive would be separate from the rest?
Well, first, I don't believe you can have your internal drive be the boot drive in this situation. You might be able to. Whether or not you can do so if your primary drive is messed up depends on what's messed up. If a partition gets hosed, it'll work, if the drive does it won't.
Check the XPostFacto site for the details. <http://tinyurl.com/4va7h>
Also, does this XPostFacto helper drive thing work with the Blue & Whites too, or just the Beiges?
It will run on B&W systems, I don't know if this stuff is supported. Again, check the XPF site.
