That brings up an important point. I would want to hook up a
USB2.0 or Firewire hard drive to the machine, either as a boot
drive, a backup drive, or both (two drives). How is FreeBSD's
support for USB or Firewire? Can one boot from these
connections? Is it reliable enough for server use?
We've got a FreeBSD 5.x NFS/Samba/AppleTalk file server at work
using Lacie firewire drives (purchased at the local Mac store in
keeping with the thread) Works great. Just replaced one of the
drives that was starting to report errors during rsync. Drive was
about 2 years old. The other drives are still going strong.

Does it boot from Firewire, or is that just for storage? Is the
machine a Mac? An Intel Mac?
Thanks!
