If the SATA HD is in a USB enclosure this is NOT bootable in the G4 Mini, you need an Intel Mini to be able to boot USB.
Just to point out, for the sake of completeness, that quite a few PowerPC macs CAN boot from USB, but it's apparently a bit hit and miss, and slow. Especially over USB 1.1 on the G3 and G4 systems. Can't/too lazy to post links from my phone but a google of "boot PowerPC mac from USB" returns a few likely candidates. FireWire is a much better bet though, but it could be useful in an emergency or something
