I'm not sure about the harddrive, but the Pismo WILL boot without a main battery installed. However, I think you'll probably need to get a PRAM battery. I know I've had Macs in the past that wouldn't boot because the PRAM battery was dead. FWIW, I've never had a dead PRAM battery on my Pismo, so I could be totally wrong on that point.
