10.4: Boot another OS while OS X is hibernating
Authored by: Whosawhatsis on Mar 10, '07 06:55:09AM

This also works for booting in firewire target mode. Enter safe sleep, boot holding T, then restart when done. Of course, it's not a good idea to try to write to the drive in this way, but I don't see any reason you couldn't do this to copy files off of the machine as fast as possible (assuming no gig ethernet). Sure, IP over firewire is probably safer, but this is geekier and should be a bit faster.

I was offered a penny for my thoughts, so I gave my two cents... I got ripped off.
