"FireWire booting, as the name implies, is the ability to start up a
computer from an internal or external FireWire drive.

FireWire booting is possible on all Macintosh models that have built-in
FireWire ports with the exception of the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White)
and the Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) models. You may need to upgrade the
computer's firmware before FireWire booting will work [...]"

Then, the question becomes how well does NetBSD handle FireWire hard
drives, and how well can it boot from them.
