Get a big external FW drive Partition it into however many OS installs you need Install the various OS' (one per partition) In the start up disk preference panel select the partition to start from and reboot
The new FW drive arrived today. From a Mac Mini's PowerPC Tiger OS, I applied the Apple Partition to it. I also noticed that this is a bit different to a MacBook's available partition options which have 4 rather than 2 options. But I am having trouble working out how to install earlier OSs on the partitions. When I try booting from the 10.1 or 10.2 OS CDs, Tiger just starts again without the CD installation starting. I then tried reinstalling Tiger itself, and this lets me install the OS onto any of the FW partitions. But what is the best way to get the other earlier OSs installed on the FW partititions.
