Actually, holding down the "T" key puts a PowerBook into "target disk" mode when connected to another Mac via FireWire. Essentially turning the PowerBook into an external hard drive. What you need to do is hold down the option key when booting up. This will present you with a choice of volumes to boot from (internal and external I believe). -Mark PS.
