Yes you can!!!

BUT that isn't an affirmative answer to the question.
BECAUSE, what XPostFacto does, is to start the FW400 'boot process'  
FROM another 'hard disk', already mounted to the system by the first  
part of the 'boot-up' process.
I.E. it can't work if the FW400 is the only HD available to the system.
