As you already said, you can put the finder on the Mac HD and use the 
SetStart CDev to run it automatically after a local boot off of a 3.5 
disk.  You are also correct that you can use IR to load DA's, CDev's, 
and FinderExt's whenever you want them from the Mac HD.  If you use 
Pointless, you can have your fonts on the Mac HD as well.  The only way 
to make the Mac HD the startup volume is to have AppleShare 3.0 installed 
on the Mac.  This program costs $900+ retail.  If you look hard, you 
might be able to find a copy for less than $200 (at least I did).
