I'm starting to experiment with booting a Linux install from a USB CDROM
drive, and look like I have things almost working. But the biggest
problem (and one that you will probably have) is that you need BIOS
support to boot from the device.
Do any BIOSs support bootable 1394 devices, like hard drives?
If not, I don't think that it will ever work, but would be glad to be
proven wrong.
thanks,
