    Is it possible to install or move the MacOS to an external firewire HDD before replacing the OS by MorphOS in a Mac Mini?

    Can the same be done from MorphOS once it's already intalled; installing MacOS in and external HDD using MorphOS?

    Is there a link to a guide?

    OSX can be fully installed on FW, during install it should ask you about migrating your data fomr a previous install (on the internal HDD). If you don't want to do a new install you need a tool like Carbon Copy Cloner.

    For MorphOS you could put the boot.img on a FW-HD, but since that doesn't include FW-drivers you'd be stuck there unless you have the rest on an USB-HD ;)
