Booting from my iPod

In an attempt to get rid of Microsoft (believe me, I've tried everything), I installed OS X on my iPod this morning, and now I'm trying too boot from it. According to this article, all I need to do it hold down "T" when booting. I tried this and I get a blue screen with a firewire icon jumping around - and that's it, it just stays there, as if it's hung. Do I need to format my iPod before installing OS X on it?

Holding down "T" on your Mac will boot it into firewire target mode - it's just a hard drive at this point. That's not what you want to do...

You want to boot it as a computer (of course), from the system on your iPod disk... Try booting up while holding OPTION (this will give you an open firmware menu to select the boot volume), or, use the "Startup Disk" preference pane to select the iPod...

In principle the Firewire target mode should work, but it doesn't, not on my iMac with external firewire drives. I get the same shifting firewire symbol. So what is Apple keeping secret again? Apple's helpdesk didn't know where to start. Let me know whether the Option boot works.

D'Arcy's right. But perhaps you also need to put the iPod into target mode...?

I found I had to enable it as a FireWire drive in iTunes (iPod icon, set to manually update and this will enable as FireWire), then it showed up as an optional startup disk. When I try to boot to it, it gives me two options at a command prompt: "mac-boot" and "shut-down." If I type "mac-boot," I get a gray screen with all kinds of lines - obviously its not working. I'll try installing OS X on the iPod again, but it doesn't look good. <em>Has anyone successfully done this?</em>

Got it to work - it might help if I'd let OS X finish installing the first time - Doh!
