Boot iBook off firewire drive?

["Michael D. Crawford" <crawford@goingware.com>]

I have one of the recently released iBook 700MHz laptops and would like to try
running linux on it at some point.

But I don't want to partition my disk and reinstall everything, what I would
like to do is use an external firewire drive and install Linux on that.

Can the iBook boot off a firewire drive?

Can Linux load this way (using one of the available boot loaders).

How would I go about starting up into Linux?  Can I set this as my startup disk
in Mac OS X and restart?  Or would I have to go into OS 9 and use BootX?

Thanks,

Mike
