I realize this is long overdue (and possibly even resolved/common
knowledge), but I thought I'd mention it here because I had no idea it
was possible.  You can boot from external media (bypassing the hard
drive) by holding command-option-shift and the delete key on boot
(instead of just the option key).  I was able to boot from an external
firewire CD.


Best regards,
