Are you asking for methods for starting up from external drives? I believe Shift-Opt-Command-Delete when starting up, asks the system to startup from an external disk, or alternate partition (like a Classic OS 9 partition). Xpostfacto can also be used to Startup, using the internal disk as a Helper, resulting in the external disk being booted from ... I think that's the way it goes. It does create a boot cache of some sort, which may complicate things if you return to normal boot mode. I can use that technique to Startup from external FW drives on my Yikes!, where ordinarily I cannot boot from external FW or USB drives at all on the Yikes!. I believe you could also Startup from the CD or DVD Install Disk, and use Startup Disk in the Utilities menu to redirect to an external drive. I might be off in the names of the Install disk menues/items, but you get what I mean.
