How is the internal formatted? (GUID or APM?)

1. OS X won't install on an APM drive if you try the install from an Intel Mac.
2. OS X won't install on a GUID drive if you try to install from a PPC Mac.
3. OS X won't boot on an PPC Mac from a GUID drive.
4. You can boot either a PPC or an Intel Mac from an APM drive 
(keeping in mind 1 and 2), so you have to install from a PPC Mac to 
get an APM volume that could boot both.
And, you need to have an OS X version on that partition that would be 
acceptable on both PPC and Intel, of course.
