First off, what type of external HD do you have? If it's only USB, it won't boot. If it is firewire, you need it to be class compliant.

To boot it from the external, I would just assume that you just install it onto there and then when you're starting up, press cmd+shift+opt+delete to select that volume to boot with...but I've never tried it before, so I can't be positive.

Install Tiger on external. Then go into system preferences and go under start-up disk.
