I too have my Linux on an external SCSI; the problem I have is that the icon
for the external hard drive doesn't come up, a window comes up asking me
whether I wish to initialize it. Though Mac OS doesn't recognize Boot X does
and for a Newbie everything appears to be working great. Can I get a icon
back without initializing and reloading or just run the risk of hitting the
wrong button someday.
