So in my opinion the only complete fix could be:
- Installing Snow booting from the DVD/USB.
- Install from Leopard launching OSInstall.mpkg, and then when you have a running Snow, install again from Snow with OSInstall.mpkg, but targeting a new partition.
Absolutely. I have done numerous installs, and have not been able to make a stable vanilla install without using a "boot132" (USB/DVD) style method of booting the installer or using the last method you mentioned.
