Hi Ken,

Yes, since you have a Sawtooth you're able to boot from a FW device. All new-world Macs with an AGP slot (thus excluding the B&W G3 and Yikes G4), and slot-loading iMacs and later models can boot from USB and FW devices. Unfortunately I have a B&W G3... From what I heard there's a possibility to use a third-party utility called XPostFacto (which is usually used to install Panther on beige G3s) to allow me to boot from a FW device, but since my B&W G3 is also my server I cannot afford to mock it up.

Usually you just install the OS on your internal HD and then clone it to your FW HD. I have no experience with cloning, but IIRC Carbon Copy Cloner (bombich.com) and SuperDuper are apps that can do that. Perhaps some other listers can be more specific? After you've cloned your HD you have two bootable systems, hold the Option aka Alt key at boot to select the other bootable system to boot off.
