Is it possible to force the Mac to boot off an external hard drive instead
of its default internal one?  I'd like to do this as a one time thing - without
using the Control Panel and without changing SCSI numbers (internal one is
set by default to 0).  I thought I read somewhere about holding down some
key(s) when restarting, but now I can't remember whether I just forgot the
key combination or whether I'm having delusions. Thanks for any help.
