10.4: How to enable booting from multiple clones
Authored by: las_vegas on Nov 04, '07 10:15:28AM
The GUID Partitioning scheme is necessary for installing OS X on an Intel Mac, not necessarily booting one. I have successfully cloned an Intel image onto a drive using the Apple Partition Map and it worked. Placing a copy of Leopard (10.5) allows for a drive that will boot any PPC Mac as well as most Intel Macs. Although I can't confirm it; It's my understanding that some of the newest Intel Macs require GUID to boot.

From what I understand, this requirement for GUID has been confirmed for the 24" Aluminum iMac.
