10.5: Install OS X to a different volume without rebooting

I can verify that you CAN create a drive that will boot either PPC or Intel systems. You have to hook it up to a PPC machine, format it as Apple Partition Map (APM) format, and install Leopard onto the drive.

This has been a godsend, because with Tiger I had to maintain two separate master setup drives. I can do it with just one in Leopard. Thank you, Apple!!!
