I've never had any luck installing Tiger directly onto the non- firewire Clamshell hard drives. However, I've had excellent results loading the OS onto the hard drive connected to a supported computer via firewire. After the install, simply (yeah, right - these are a pain to work on!) install the hard drive into the Clamshell, and you're good to go. Hope this helps.
