No. AFAIK no Mac boots from USB, certainly nothing before the G5's do. It will boot from a firewire drive, so if you get a FW enclosure this will work.


I can't seem to boot from a drive (10gb) in a Firewire enclosure. Same thing, I can select it as my startup disk and then system then doesn't see it. Do you think it might be because of the second party PCI Firewire card I'm using?

Not necessarily. Some enclosures (mostly older ones) won't let you boot, and older macs won't boot from Firewire, anyway. <http:// docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58606>
