Myth: Mac OS X requires GPT
This is mostly a myth. Mac OS X boots and runs just fine from disks using MBR partitioning, or even APM (Apple Partition Map, used on PowerPC Macs).
However, the Mac OS X Installer will refuse to put a fresh copy of Mac OS X on a disk that’s not using GPT. You can work around this using cloning tools like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. Install Mac OS X on a GPT-partitioned disk first, then clone it onto the disk of your choice.
Apple’s firmware updates are another issue. The exact requirements are not known at this time, but they are known to not work if you don’t have GPT and you don’t have a EFI System Partition.

Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, dann kann man Leopard mit dem Mac OSX Installer nicht auf einer Platte installieren, die nicht GPT benutzt, sondern erst über den Umweg des Klonens.
