Rename the drive, and then select it in System Preferences' Startup Disk preference pane to boot from it. You should be able to tell if things are OK pretty quickly.

MAKE SURE it really booted from the external drive. To do so, check the "root" of the drive. If the Application icon is "special" (has something other than a blank folder), that's the boot drive. If you can see the firewire drive in the source list, it's not OSX "boot" compatible.

If everything looks OK, go ahead with Tiger.
