While I haven't tried it, you should be able to partition your drive to
appear as two separate disks with disk utility. Depending on how full
the current drive is you might be able to shrink the existing partition
enough to make room for Yosemite. Then you would install Yosemite on
that new drive. As far as switching startup drives, you should be able
to do that by going to System Preferences and picking which drive to
start from and then reboot. While you can also do this by holding down
the option key while booting, I suspect that way is not accessible since
there won't be an OS running yet to host voiceover.

A follow-up thought I had was that if I want to switch partitions,
could I go into the recovery partition and choose one as the startup?
This at least would be accessible with VO.

I was reading on Ars Technica about creating a test partition to try
Yosemite beta. My question is: how accessible would the boot process
be? Would I have to count arrow-key presses or some such similar thing?
thanks,
