This does indeed work.  My Silverlining-formatted drive at work has
an icon representing the AT&T Death Star, installed using just this
method.  My drive at home has a Calvin icon.

You could also wait for System 7.0.  In the "Get Info" window, you
can replace the icon with one of your choosing.  The second
partition on my drive at home has a Hobbes icon installed in just
this manner.
