If the Mac system was written for a non Intel compatible operating 
system, there would be hardware problems, so probably not. If it was 
written for compatible hardware, it could be. One useful trick to use 
with this would be to set the BIOS for the operating system (drive) you 
want to boot from (often referred to as the boot sequence). By doing 
that, the first working operating system in the sequence starts up. 
Later, you can adjust the BIOS to boot the other one first (takes a 
couple of minutes).
