The good news is I can tell you Ryan plans on including Firewire booting and CD booting in the next upgrade of XPostFacto! It should come out soon after Panther OSX 10.3 arrives or maybe even sooner! I think Panther arrives in Sept sometime ?
I'm not sure I understand the CD part, I boot from CD already, and even an external Apple ROM SCSI CD player will boot. Perhaps you mean "any brand 'non-Apple' CD player" boot? As for Firewire booting, I'm not certain I see how Ryan could enable this with xPostFacto. My understanding is that the PRAM and NVRAM are very limited in size, and adding support for Firewire booting via PCI Firewire card seems like it would require way too much memory to be stored in these tiny bits of memory. Since the firmware ROM in unsupported Macs aren't flashable, where would the support be added, to a HD? I can't see how that would work, but let's hope you're correct. That would be fantastic. Thanks! Kris
