Wierd yellow firewire sign when testing target mode

Option-for-boot-options gives you a menu of your connected bootable volumes and would let you select the duped drive. Or, you could use the Startup Disk preference pane to select the other drive instead -- this gives you a quick preview of what Mac OS X thinks your bootable volumes are.

Thanks Mike. I forgot to mention that I can manually boot using the image on the firewire drive if I select it as the start up disk using the Startup Disk preferences. But if I hold down the Option key during bootup it only shows the default internal drive and does not show anything related to the firewire drive. I'll keep playing around though.
