I remember from a previous OS seeding that there was a discussion on
here about how to get the contents of the seed dmg onto a spare
partition on the disk and then booting off that partition.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find that discussion.
I use the "asr" tool for doing this. Here's a sample commandline:
sudo asr -erase -nocheck -source TigerSomething.dmg -target
/Volumes/MyScratchInstallerVolume
This will erase MyScratchInstallerVolume and write the disk image
contents to it. You can then reboot from MyScratchInstallerVolume and
install wherever you like. Typically, therefore, you need at least two
free partitions, one for the installer and one for your OS boot
partition.
