problem: If you again OSX system from an image will produce, it usually requires another bootable OS X system from which one can make.
solution: to simply boot from the installation DVD and then used the Disk Utility or the ASR command. I opted for ASR, because then the installation DVD does not need to boot only in single user mode (Cmd + S at boot). This is faster. In addition, Is it possible to determine also the buffer used, which speeds up the process further.
First the image may be missing check sums add ...
sudo asr image scan-s / Volumes/Backups/TigerHD_2009-06-30.dmg
Then you can start the actual copying. - buffers 1 - 32m buffer size is optimized for copies from plate to plate. Sudo asr restore
-s / Volumes/Backups/TigerHD_2009-06-30.dmg-t / Volumes / disk / - verbose - erase - buffers 1 - bufferSize 32m
