Re: can't start up with FW drive

At the beginning of the school year we bought some Intel minis for a lab. 
I took one of our firewire drives, reformatted it and put the Intel Tiger
OS 10.4.6 on it that came with the Minis.  That enabled me to use
NetHelper/Restore to make a golden image of one of the minis.  I've run
SWupdate and updated these minis and want to make a new image, however I
can't.  I can't start up from the Firewire drive.  I've tried holding down
the c key, choosing the 10.4.6 system to start from within Syst Prefs, but
it only boots to the mini which now has 10.4.8.  Does anyone have a clue
as to why this won't work?  I thought it might be because the Firewire
system is older than the minis, so I tried to download and install the
SWupdate 10.4.8 onto the FW drive, but it won't let me choose that as a
viable place to install the update.  Any help would be appreciated.

Booting off of the computer holding down c only works with an install cd in the machine.

Did you try booting up the mini holding down option? This should allow you to select which volume to boot off of.
What about t (target firewire mode) and then connecting it to another computer or the server via firewire cable to image?
