For what is worth, I think that a developer in need to test several CD images without burning them should consider investing in a FireWire HD. As far as I know booting from FireWire should be much easier, but I never tried it.
You don't even need a disk attached via FireWire if you have a second Mac that supports target disk mode - just hook both up via their first(? - sorry, don't remember if this is important) FireWire ports and start the one to boot from in target disk mode first. Though I'd say it's less convenient than to use a separate disk. But if you're short on FireWire disk adapters but have plenty of Power Macs, why not? :-) If you have one of the first iPods with FireWire, these can also be used for booting IIRC. Cheers, Frank
