No Firewire install possible?

[Steven Didier]

I have not yet had time to try the work around that "william" (I believe)
posted last month. Next week I should have some spare time and if successful
(or not) in installing to a firewire drive for my 867MHz TiBook I will post
to the list.
Thanks for continuing to look for a resolution to the problem.
