  John,,
  Immediately after you boot the machine, hold down the option key.  After a 
while, a non-talking window will appear. Use the arrow keys to select the drive 
and then press enter.

    Marshall, I may have to look at the option  key and wonder if it keeps 
wrapping or can you go from the beginning to the end of the list of drives in 
my case two of them?  I was hoping that there might be a key such as holding 
the x when bootingg which allows a person boot form the external drive. I'll 
give the option key a try thanks. Do I just hold it while booting and then get 
a list of drives that I can arrow through or do I use option and arrows while 
the machine is in the boot sequence.

      John,
      Are you talking about the option key?  I checked Help and there doesn't 
seem to be a specific key for booting a specific drive.

        Good afternoon. I have a bootable firewire drive that I use and realize 
that holding x while booting will allow me to boot form it.  How do i boot from 
the internal drive without unplugging the firewire drive. Basicly I need a to 
force boot from the internal like the x that forces booting from the firewire 
drive. thanks.
