Does anyone know how I can boot an external SSD from a cd/usb? i need to update the firmware on the SSD via a cd/usb before i put it in my mac as the update is listed as a destructive update (meaning it will require re installing a back up). But i am unsure how to do this or if it is even possible on a mac? It would save me the hassle of putting the SSD in my mac updating and removing again if it is critical.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.
