You are getting cryptic now. You already know that if the BIOS doesn't
support booting from a device, the device is "unbootable". If it says
it can boot from a firewire device then get yourself such a device if
you want to boot from it. I don't know if you can adapt a USB device to
use or boot from the firwire port.
