The iPod, from what I understand, acts just like a Firewire disk, so theoretically, if you're able to boot off of Firewire, you should be able to boot from it.

Um, the catch is whether or not you're able to retain use of the iPod as, well, an iPod. Chances are that putting something boot-related on that disk will cause the iPod's software to barf or something similar.
