In anticipation of upgrade to Tiger I purchased an external HD. I cloned
my entire HD to the new using "Carbon Copy Clone" I got it to work and
now on the ex HD i have a file called: "Macintosh HD.sparseimage" Inside
of which is that white icon which when opened displays just what is on
in internal HD.
But, how to I get my machine to boot from this system on the exHD?
I'm lost here.

Have you tried Startup Disk in System Preferences?

Hold down the "Option" key when you boot. It should recognize the
external drive and offer to let you boot from that drive.

I've done that and the ex HD does not appear.
Though it is on the desk top, and if I double. click on that the ex HD
icon I get the little white icon, it looks like an white iBookG4, when
that is clicked then I get the entire HD. The same as clicking on the
main HD icon.

Yes. It does not appear there.
