are you just changing the startup drive in sys prefs, or are you booting while holding option, and then choosing the drive?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, do you have one of the older computers (i.e. Blue & White G3, or an old computer w/ FireWire card) that can't boot from FireWire drives?

Only Macs with AGP graphics can boot from USB or FireWire.
