I spoke too soon:
the installation looked like it was about to finish -- but it failed
at the end:
"The following install step failed: run postintall script for CHUD.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Straight from the Release Notes:
"The Xcode Developer Tools will install by default into /Developer,
but you may choose to install Xcode 3.0 anywhere on the system,
including on partitions other than the boot volume. When changing the
installation location, you must create a folder for the tools with
the
"New Folder" button in the location chooser."
When you run the installer wizard, you see a "Change Install
Location" button.
If you click that button, you get a listing of all drives connected
to your machine.
All drives are X'd out and blocked from an install:
"You cannot install Xcode Tools on this volume. You can only install
this software on the running Mac OS X volume."
There is NO button for creating a folder.
You can't GO BACK at this point. The "GO BACK" button is grayed
out. You have to kill the installer.
When you relaunch the installer, you sometimes get the opportunity
to click a CUSTOM install.
I say "sometimes" because sometimes the install wizard skips the
"Destination Select" panel (maybe accepting too many mouse clicks?
or my mouse is bad?). It jumps to Installation Type, but without
the CUSTOM button, without the CHANGE INSTALL LOCATION button. All
you see is a panel of drives connected to the machine.
After relaunching the installer again, and if the installer is
moving panel to panel properly, instead of choosing the "Change
Location Button" to change your install location, you choose the
CUSTOMIZE button. Once in the custom panel, you can edit the
"Location" column where you can navigate your connected drives by
choosing "Other". You can then create a new folder or choose an
existing folder.
I'm reminded of this quirkiness having run into a similar problem
installing some of the audio samples for Logic Studio.
Well, installation is on its way just fine. No need to install on
the "running Mac OS X volume".

My MBPro has less than 9 GB of free space. (100 G 7200 Rpm

I have 5 drives hanging off of it - all Mac OS X Extended and some
journaled.
XCode 3.0 tools installer won't let me install on any of the
external drives.
Is there something I need to do to bless the drives for the dev
tools?
I think you can only install Xcode on the file system that contains
the actively running Mac OS X install. Of course you can install
multiple versions of Xcode now but I think the active system drive
requirement still applies.
