as a "hack" until the firewire support code, Why don't just use
something like we have for cdroms?
For example:

blkdev:        		/dev/sda      -firewire

This way we can give support to firewire disk drives devices as
removable

I know it's a ugly hack and I don't know if it could work. Is it a
stupid idea or could it work?

Cheers.
