I have 2 Mac OS X versions (10.5 and 10.6) installed on 2 different partition of my Mac. Is there a way that I can do from command line to reboot the system to switch to the other Mac OS X installation other than the current one?

$ bless --mount /Volumes/MacPartitionX --setBoot;sudo shutdown -r now

I think that or something similar will work for your purposes.

You can choose the startup volume for your Mac by holding down the option key (a.k.a. alt) as it boots up.

This selection is just a temporary choice and does not change the default that your Mac will use.
