[Thinkpad] Portable HD, booting from firewire?

[Aryeh Goretsky (home)]

Hello,

Oops... right.  Drive was not bootable on the T23 via the FireWire
interface.  Apologies for not stating that.  The T23 only has USB v1.1,
and the only thing I ever booted it from using that were floppy diskette
drives.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
