Not true. What 00010 meant is instead of patching OSInstall script to allow installing for example Leopard on PPC<867Mhz, you can use supported machine, install on it and then take the HDD out and put in unsupported machine. Hard drives are pretty much the same, they all use IDE drives. I even used SATA drive in my G4 with simple IDE->SATA adapter. But that's different thing so yes, you can fool the installer by simply swapping hard drives.
