booting iMac from iBook

Booted the iBook in target disk mode, then hooked it to the iMac with a 
firewire cable.  Rebooted the iMac and held down the option key, then 
selected my iBook hard drive as the startup disk. Could have selected 
the iBook as startup disk from the Startup disk preference panel in the 
iMac. But that changes the pref.

About my original problem: Optical drive weirdness. At a MUG meeting 
last night someone said it's a Jaguar problem with some iMacs. Problem 
is, the iMac will not see or mount or boot from ANY CD, except the Disk 
Warrior 3.0 CD. No audio CD, no system CD, the drive just won't spin up 
right. Like it's broken. But the Disk Warrior CD works just fine. I ran 
Disk Warrior. Didn't fix the problem. So next, I am gonna do the 
"reverse." Boot the iMac in target disk mode, firewire to the iBook 
then install Panther on the iMac using the optical drive in my iBook. 
Hopefully that'll fix the iMac. I'll let y'all know what happens.
