Using Master Boot Record or the older version of the Apple Partition Map protocol will make the drive not bootable. Once you have the installer made, you can use System Preferences, Startup Disk to start from any bootable volume. This method is accessible whereas the Option key method is not. I apologize if my responses are delayed, as I'm sitting in an airport right now and will soon be in the air where I will not have Internet access at all. Later..

Why does your friend need Mavericks? 2. How old of a Mac is this? I ask this because if the Mac is new enough that it came with something newer than Mavericks originally installed, then you cannot install Mavericks on it. Any Mac that is a late 2014 or newer will not accept Mavericks. 3. If it is a model that accepts Mavericks, you cannot install it on top of Sierra. You either need to create a second partition where you can install Mavericks or wipe the drive clean of Sierra and install Mavericks from scratch on to the Mac. If you do have two partitions, you can easily choose which one you wish to start from within the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences. Later...
