In OS-9, I have used the keyboard combination of Command-Option-Shift- 
Delete all held down during the boot procedure. This forces the  
machine to boot to any valid system folder that is connected to the  
computer, CD disk, USB or FireWire (as long as the machine is capable  
of booting to that particular type of case)  external hard drive or  
CD/DVD case instead of booting to the internal hard drive.

In OS-X, I hold down the Option key during the boot procedure. This  
brings up every valid system folder that is attached and in a  
compatible case. Then click on the system folder you want to use and  
press the forward button to finish the boot procedure in that OS.
