The same as clicking on the > main HD icon. In CCC's preferences you had checked 'create disk image' and 'prepare for ASR' (or some such thing). Erase the drive, clone again, this time uncheck 'create disk image' and check 'make bootable.'

Theere is no way you'll ever boot from that drive until you clone a bootable system onto that _drive_. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF

It does not appear there. I believe the mistake you made was checking the "Create a disk image on target" option in CCC preferences. You don't want a disk image file on the external drive, you want the cloned files put directly on the external volume. Run CCC again with that option disabled (remove the "Macintosh HD.sparseimage" file first), and you should end up with a bootable volume.
