Installation problems on a Mac Laptop through Firewire

Hey Ubuntuers

I have a friend of mine that is trying to install ubuntu on an external 
hard disk via the firewire port. The installation continually locks up, 
so much so that he cannot install it. We have tried a working copy of 
ubuntu and there is not much difference.

He is using a Macintosh laptop. It is quite modern. He is installing to 
a hdd via the firewire port. It locks up around 38%.

Any tips? Has anyone done a successful install via firewire?

Colin
