If it didn't break, yes, it's a supported feature with "usb.img" and "all.img" (hence, CDROM booting - thus, if your bios can boot from your firewire CDROM, you even have no bootdisk to mess with). Since not many people use that, it may be broken, though :). Just tell me, if it's broken I'll try to fix.
