This will probably be my last post on this issue because I'm giving up on LaCie's Little Disk as a clone start-up drive. I did speak to LaCie and the official line is that they don't support booting up from their drives. Strangely, they couldn't tell me if the drives had the Oxford firewire chipset, which I thought were needed in order to boot from them. The LaCie technician was nice in that "off the record" he tried to help me with the question you had - is there enough power? The drive comes with a cable that allows extra power through a USB connection, while still using firewire. That didn't help, though.
I then called OWC (MacSales) and they guarantee that their little Mercury-On-The-Go drives will allow me to boot up externally with Leopard.
Thanks for your help.
