10.5: Install OS X to a different volume without rebooting
Authored by: joeyslaptop on Jun 04, '10 07:55:36AM

Here is an AppleScript app I made to bless the volume for you (for Intel machines only).

Use at your own risk. It works fine on mine, but I make no guarantees.
DOWNLOAD: myfiles.mimweddings.com/IntelInstallBless.zip

Below is the AppleScript code:

set DidntWork to "" as text

set selectedDrive to {choose from list (list disks) with prompt "To bless your OS X.5 installation, please select the volume name (CAUTION: Intel installs only)."} as text

try
	set TheFinalResult to (do shell script "sudo bless --folder /Volumes/" & "\"" & selectedDrive & "\"" & " /System/Library/CoreServices --bootinfo --bootefi --verbose" with administrator privileges) as text
	
on error the error_message number the error_number
	set DidntWork to "1" as text
	display dialog "Sorry.  It didn't work.  Your install has not been blessed." & return & return & "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
if DidntWork = "" then
	display dialog TheFinalResult & "Cross your fingers and give it a try.  It seems to have worked." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end if
