BootCD is another option
Authored by: JohnDCCIU on Mar 08, '05 01:47:06PM
There's one additional option that will let you avoid having to install OS X on the second drive, and without using single-user mode.

I instead booted from a CD that I had built using CharlesSoft's BootCD v0.6. I usually keep a CD made from BootCD around for troubleshooting anyway (i.e. running DiskWarrior before the Alsoft CD can boot a newer machine), so it wasn't extra effort in my case.

Other than that difference, I followed this procedure and it worked perfectly on three different G5s.
