mac dual boot

I hear that there is a support article on how to dual boot my Mac so one can run Snow Leopard and Lion. Does anyone know where this is?

Thanks!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Personally instead of creating two smaller partitions on my iMac's Internal HD 1 for each version, I use an External HD and Clone my existing OS X to the External HD with CarbonCloner. Then generally, I upgrade the Clone to the next version of OS X and test it there until I decide to fully upgrade my Internal HD.

Basically once you have a bootable backup clone on an External HD, then it is just a matter of deciding which one you want upgraded to 10.7
