Additonal Notes

PPC Compatibility Note: Apple PPC systems are only capable of booting from FireWire external hard drives.  FireWire drives must be partitioned using the Apple Partition Map (APM) partition type to allow the Mac OS X system to boot from the drive properly. Apple PPC systems cannot boot from Global Unique Identifier (GUID) or Master Boot Record (MBR) partition types.   Furthermore, it has been tested and proven that Mac OS X cannot boot from an external FireWire drive that is using the Prolific chipset. The Apple System Profiler can tell you what chipset your FireWire drive is using.

Intel Compatibility Note: Apple Intel systems are capable of booting from both FireWire and USB external hard drives.  FireWire and USB drives must be formatted using the Global Unique Identifier (GUID) partition type for Mac OS X on Intel platforms to be able to boot from the drive.  Apple Intel systems cannot boot from Apple Partition Map (APM) or Master Boot Record (MBR) patition types. Unlike FireWire, Apple Intel systems with USB external hard drives can boot from the Prolific chipset.

PPC vs. Intel Cloning: Because the boot environment for PPC and Intel Mac systems are different, it is not possible to boot one type of system from a clone made from the other type of system. While the data can be copied from one to the other, Intel systems can't boot from a PPC clone, and vice versa.
