assorted pieces of random gobbledygook

Dear Lazyweb,

in order to set up full-disk encryption, I want to boot my trusty ol’ Powerbook off a USB stick. This is a PB G4 FW800, 1.25GHz with a Powerbook5,2 4.7.1f1BootROM. This is the latest Open Firmware release for this model, according to The List. If I choose to believe a macosxhints article I found, someone managed to do it for a 12″ Powerbook with 1.3GHz (what’s that anyway? a rounding error?). Alas, it doesn’t work for me. No ud device to be seen in Open Firmware. Any ideas, or am I simply out of luck?
