Huge thanks!
your solution seems to be much more safer.
I insallted Tiger in volume Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
in volume Mac OS X Panther

o Panther to Tiger
% sudo bless -mount "/Volumes/Mac OS X Tiger" -setBoot
% sudo reboot

o Tiger to Panther
% sudo bless -mount "/Volumes/Mac OS X Panther" -setBoot
% sudo reboot

I helped by both. Thank you very much

All the best,
