I'm trying to mount my mac LaCie fireWire drive by following YDL's 
'howto_firewire'.
I'm able to load the ieee1394,ohci1294 & sbp2 drivers.
But I'm unable to find the correct sda (or is it hfs?) device to mount.
Whenever I try to mount anything other than sda(like sda1 or sda 8,etc),which 
is the macintosh HD,I'm told the device isn't valid or doen't exist.


I ran pdisk and got my partition map:

pdisk: No valid block 1 on '/dev/sda'     (worrying, what does this mean?)

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda'
