I have a Peripheral Land Infinity 40 removable drive and setting the
startup device to the external drive works for me.  The problem might be
with the formatting of the arridge.  Many sellers of the devices tell you
not to install the disk drivers on the cartridge since they assume you
will not be booting from the drive.  I suggest reinitialize the cartridges 
and be sure to install the driver software supplied with your removable
drive.  If there is a system folder on the cartridge, setting the startup
device to the external drive should work.  Let me know how it turns out.
