SD Card to Boot MBP?

Im planning to purchase a 16GB High-Capacity SD card and install Leopard and Disk Warrior to use as a emergency boot drive.

My question is has anyone tried doing this if so, did everything work as expected?

Thanks

Let's say you're traveling. Do you want to carry with you your original OS installer disks in case there is a problem and you need them? Plus a diskwarrior disk. You can put all your disk repair utilities on the SD card and carry that with you.

So its basically the installer cd on a sd card. That makes sense the way you explain it.

Thanks
