still encountering hard drive spin-up. In fact, when the drive was spun-down, dragging it to the Trash caused it to spin-up!

Of course. It's a dismount operation. The drive has to be spun up so the OS can write the final bits from the directory cache to it.

Since you're booted from the CF card, you have nothing on the HD of interest?

You could mark the drive to not auto-mount, but then you won't be able to boot from it. So why not just put an AppleScript in the Startup Items folder that dismounts the drive. That way the original spin-up on boot isn't wasted. :)

[etc] iTunes insists that the iTunes Music Library is on the hard drive, even though I copied it to the card. Is this a case-by-case scenario?

yea. Some apps are just cranky like that. You'll have to figure 'em out on a case-by-case basis.
