I ran into this bug today while upgrading my MacBook to a larger HD. I had two different image backups available on network or firewire drives, but no bootable partition. I was contemplating the terminal option and not sure how to reference the image stored on the firewire drive. But then I realized that I was going to partition the internal HD for bootcamp use anyway, and I could just make a 2nd bootable partition on the new empty internal drive.
I partitioned the internal drive the way I would have for bootcamp, and then installed (onto the extra partition) the most minimal Tiger I could from the DVD (skipping the DVD verify step, this only took about 10 or 15 min). Booting off that partition let me use the Disk Utility according to the manual's fine directions. Although I was sure I could eventually figure out the terminal instructions, this was easier by far for me. I'm now contemplating whether I can spare the space for an emergency os x boot partition on the internal drive...
