No, as in boots from a CD, making it a more "secure" firewall. Boot media = read only.

I'm puzzled by the squid references though. I assume you are wanting a proxy server on the firewall that can authenticate with your NT domain. Chances are that these products don't offer that and you will have to have a separate box with squid on it that has a "special" hole through your firewall, most probably using NAT to hide the fact that it is on a different box.
