He is asking of the CFW would carry over.
On NAND PS3s, all the FW is on the NAND flash. On NOR PS3s, 16MB of the FW is on the NOR flash and the rest is on the HDD.
Even if most part of the FW is on the HDD on NOR PS3s, it is per console encrypted so it will not carry over to the OFW PS3 or to any other PS3. Once you insert it in the other PS3, it will format it immediately.
