Can I boot into XP running on a firewire disk?

Ok, here's my setup. I have a notebook with 2k running on it. I also have a desktop with XP. This summer I am taking my desktop HDD, my laptop, and my firewire-IDE enclosure with me and leaving the desktop CPU behind. Has anyone had any experience, or do you know if it's possible for me to boot with XP from the firewire device. It's a sony SR33 and I know it will only boot from hard disk, but once I start up 2k is there anyway to shutdown and boot into XP?
 
Yeah, it's all up to the BIOS. I wouldn't recomend it though, as software act's as the controller for external HD's, which can cause problems if your using the HD as the OS HD.
