i think what you want is


knoppix tohd=/dev/hda1 (where hda1 represents a normal harddisk partition, you will need to change that line to the parameters of your firewire drive)



boot the live cd, after it finds your FW drive hit cntrl-alt-f1 wich takes you to the shell, type in that command and all should be good, then you can reboot with the cd (or create a floppy boot disk) and where it gives you the option type in


boot: knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda1

no gaurantees as i dont know if it will read the FW drive when it boots up.


you can also copy your ISO image to your NTFS drive and boot from that

boot: knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNX.iso (replace knx.iso with your image name, alternatively if you only have one knoppix iso, you can use

boot: knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda1/K*.iso
