Yes- this should work. Just drag the system folder from the boot disc you
currently
have, into your HD, then under control panel>startup disc, select it as
the default
boot source

Well, dip me in batter and call me a corn dog!!
It was weird. I copied over the system,preferences, utilities, and
apps folder from my Paris G4 onto a fw drive.
Then I intialized the Paris boot drive, making sure to install OS9
drivers.
Then, copied said folders onto the newly-initialized drive.
Rebooted, holding down the option key.
Oddly enough, it showed not only the OSX drive, but the FW drive as
boot options, not the internal OS9 drive.
So, I let it boot from FW. Then went into the startup disk panel,
chose the internal Paris drive's System folder, restarted with the
Option key, and this time, the internal drive showed up and allowed me
to boot.
Now, I'll install Paris and a few utiilities.
Damn! That was fun. And edumacational, too!!!
