Run full OS X installer for another drive without rebooting
This hint was a total life saver for me. I bought a new Mac Mini (mid 2010, with HDMI), but because I wanted two 7200 rpm internal drives and didn't need an optical drive I bought the server configuration, fully planning to blow away Snow Leopard Server with regular Snow Leopard. I had a retail, boxed copy of Snow Leopard I intended to use for this purpose. However, the Mini was too recent to use the boxed version of Snow Leopard I had, and the machine would kernel panic when I tried to boot from the installer DVD. A couple of phone calls to Apple couldn't come up with any solutions and they were even suggesting I might want to return the unit and get the non-server model (which I very much didn't).
