you have got to tell me how you got a file system to mount on removable drive like a zip!
That's not unusual. Macs will boot from damn near anything that has a System and a Finder on it.
I've booted a Mac from a 21 MB Floptical, a SyQuest, a CD in an external CDRW-burner, a Zip, a 1 GB Jaz, and a Type III PCMCIA card.
I know someone who on a lark decided to boot his Mac from a Travan backup tape cartridge. After half an hour of squeaking and skwonking, the screen showed the smiling Mac but she didn't have the patience to see if it would go all the way to Desktop.
