I may have this licked - read on if you're in the same boat

OK so I diverged from SuperDuper a little, but I'm so thrilled that this may be working, I don't care

Booting from Firewire wasn't happening. So I stuck my install CD in my new Macbook, hooked it up to the old iMac, restarted the Macbook in FireWire target mode & started up the iMac. I am now running the OS X installer on the iMac, using the Macbook as a glorified optical drive.

Woo hoo!

(Update: this worked)
