This is only tested using a 10.4.8 Jas Combo AMD SSE3 dev install. YMMV.
It is recomended that you update to that version for best results.

You do ALL this from a normal working install of mac os x 86
Make a test partition hfs + journaled 10GB should be enough
Insert/mount your install dvd (10.4.4 and up)
Go to System/Installation/Packages on the dvd
Run OSInstall.mpkg
Choose your test partition and customise the install and uncheck everything (1st thing should remain checked as u cant uncheck it)
When its done remove/unmount the dvd.
Download the 10.4.5, 10.4.6, 10.4.7, 10.4.8 delta updates (NOT COMBO) (intel) from apple (the file names should be MacOSXUpd10.4.5Intel.dmg, MacOSXUpd10.4.6Intel.dmg, MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg, MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg)
Mount the 10.4.5 update dmg
Copy the pkg to your desktop
Right click on it,then click Show Package Contents
Go into the Resources folder,find InstallationCheck and drag it to the trash
Close the finder windows and run the 10.4.5 update pkg from your desktop
Choose your test partition and wait for it to be done.
Do the same for the 3 remaining updates (10.4.6,10.4.7,10.4.8)
#Note:
If for some reason you cannot install the updates this way (happened even to me once),open the pkg with Pacifist,select everything under the pkg name (but not the pkg itself,since then it will extract to a subdirectory,and we dont want that) and click extract.Choose your test partition,and when asked click Replace (you can check the box too if you dont want to click 100 times :D)
When that's done,go into your test partition,go into System/Library/Extensions and remove AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement.kext (drag it to the trash and empty the trash), enter your root password when it asks...
Download this http://www.sendspace.com/file/jygff2
Double click the file to extract it
Copy everything from there into your test partition's System/Library/Extensions overwriting the old ones
Copy the IOATAFamily.kext from your working install's System/Library/Extensions folder to the test partition's extensions folder
(like this in terminal :
sudo su
*enter ur password*
rm -rf /Volumes/Test/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext
cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext /Volumes/Test/System/Library/Extensions/
)
Download this http://www.sendspace.com/file/cnvhfw
Extract the kext to the test partition's System/Library/Extensions overwriting the previous one
Run Disk Utility and repair permissions on your test partition.
You're done with the preparations,now on to the real deal
Now we have to install the kernel and decrypts
Download the kernel and decrypts from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BF4CADM8
1) unzip the archive to the root directory of the test drive
2) reboot and at the darwin prompt, press the down arrow to select your second partition then type: -v -s -legacy
3) once darwin has dumped you to a prompt, type: mount -uw /
4) type: sh replace.sh
5) type: ./patcher -v amd_rufus_1048.txt
6) type : cd /System/Library/Extensions
7) type : chmod -R 755 *
8) type : chown -R root:wheel *
6) reboot and choose second partition again then type: -v -legacy
Remember each time you boot, you will need -v and -legacy for now.
