You can add this in /etc/profile:
HOSTTYPE=i386
MACHTYPE=i386-apple-darwin8.0
export HOSTTYPE
export MACHTYPE

You can also go into bash with a hex editor and change the first two instances of powerpc, (the second set is the ppc portion of the universal binary) with the extra space leftover just pad it with zeros.

After some playing, here is how I use my PowerBook running OS X to do the job via pxeboot. The following example shows OpenBSD as the OS to install on the Intel box.</p> I often need to install OSs on Intel boxes, which frequently come without CDs or floppy these days.
