I believe a volume must have a GUID partition scheme if you want to be able to boot it on an Intel Mac. The volume is readable on (IIRC) any Mac running Tiger or later, but only boots on Intel machines.

Also, Intel machines, unlike PPC, can boot from a USB drive.

The old Apple partition scheme is readable but not bootable by Intel Macs.
