You ought to try patching the booter to flip the bit (in the DCE? in
the VCB?  or would this require patching _Eject? Or would a patch to
_Eject be blasted away by the kernel loading?) that says whether it's
removable. I thought this would be something documented, but a quick scan
of Inside Mac turned up nothing. Anyone know?

Better yet, have a checkbox in the Booter Preferences dialog that says
whether to do this or not ("Booting from Removable Disk" sounds good).

Then again, Allen's about to release Booter 1.8, so maybe you should wait
for this, or maybe Allen will put it in...

Just an idea (but if I get some time I'll try and put it in myself)
