I know it risks confusion to say this, and Dave would probably rather I didn't, but sometimes someone may need to know. In fact, often (always, actually, that I've tried) given Intel machines will in fact boot from an EXTERNAL APM drive/volume. Both of mine will consistently, but I do not know that this is 100% for all Intel machines. I also do not know about an INTERNAL APM, as I have not tried it. I suspect it may not work.

Obviously, it would be better and more certain not to and to do it Apple's way, but if someone gets in some sort of jam/situation where they need to, they may find that APM works fine. That does NOT mean anyone should routinely do it.
