10.5: Install OS X to a different volume without rebooting
Authored by: hdrewc on Mar 18, '10 10:02:56AM

Thanks for the hint. Did all these, but in the end, my MacBook Pro wouldn't boot from the Leopard partition. It simply ends up in an infinite loop of restarts.

My hunch is that it should be related to the EFI firmware upgrade from december or so, when we've been updated to the 1.8 version of EFI and to the 3.0 firmware version of the superdrive. That's probably why I'm not even able to boot from the Leopard installation disk.

However, I haven't been able to test this hunch because I was not able to downgrade my firmware to its previous state.

Any ideas, hints... whatever highly appreciated.

PS: Thanks again for teaching me how to be a --folder-vicar :P
