no way to boot from mobile firewire hdd?



since my iBookG4's internal hdd got dead                                                                  
bought                                                                                                    
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10558                                                       
could happily restore osx and boot from it                                                                
but installing debian nor ubuntu seem to fail at                                                          
installing yaboot process                                                                                 
                                                                                                          
well trying to install the bootstrap to the external hdd                                                  
is stupid anyway?                                                                                         
weird thing is that                                                                                       
option boot doesn't show neither osx nor debian on the external                                           
but osx on it boots anyway                                                                                
                                                                                                          
then there's no way to boot debain from this external HDD?                                                
even if i could                                                                                           
nothing like yaboot oriented dual(choosing with only one key) thing                                       
available?
