How do you make a disk image onto an external hard drive (OS X 10.5.4)?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

For reboot purposes? Look at Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper...

You can also use the restore feature in the Disk Utility which comes with Mac OS X, but SuperDuper's easier as Carbon Copy Cloner probably is too.

If you are asking I think you are, to boot right off the DMG, you can't. Mounting the DMG is an OS function. You need to clone your drive to another physical drive, not a DMH.
