What kind of Mac? Intel Macs support booting from USB drives, however the Gx Macs don't; at least not without some work to make the firmware see the device as bootable (I tried it once, but it was way too complicated for me :P) I don't think it involved sheep shaver, and I'm not sure what that has to do with it, since a G4 is already a PPC Mac.
SOME PPC Macs will boot from USB. It's kind of hit or miss. And in one case I ran into it worked for OS 9 but not OS X. But in other cases I have booted OS X from USB.
