David, you keep posting the same thing on every Apple story. The joke is getting a bit stale; stop beating the dead horse...
As far as I remember from my Apple-using friends, the Macs have a key combination you can press while booting, and instead of starting the OS, they start a special mode in their firmware which makes them to appear like a harddrive on their firewire port. This makes one able to rescue or repair a Mac even if the system is completely b0rked, just as if the harddrive was removed and connected to an external FireWire box.
Yes, that's Target Disk Mode.
