The problem has ceased to be a problem in one of the recent releases. In precise I can boot with an external hdd connected without any problem at all. If needed I will try booting the quantal livedvd with an external hdd attahed if that helps you. I also noticed that attaching an external hdd while already booted from external hdd will mak the boot hdd unmount for some time leading to a freezeup of the system. That isnt so much of a problem since all hdds that are to be used could be connected before teh system is turned on.
