 Install, absolutely. As for booting directly, I'm not so sure, since I
don't really know the OpenFirmware incantations for doing that. You may have
to boot the kernel over the net, and then tell it to mount the firewire drive
as root.

 I don't know if the XServe will boot: it's worth a try. The others should be OK.

 There's bits and pieces in the -ppc mail archive: I'll see if I can write
something up.

later,

Peter.
