YDL on an eMAC Firewire Drive

[Phillip Soltan]

I don't mind the 50 steps but I can't get past step 2.  I managed to  
breakout of anaconda to a command line and tried loading the Firewire  
modules (ieee1394, ohci1394, raw1394, sbp2).  When I do step 2 (cat  
/proc/scsi/scsi) nothing is listed and the modules don't actually load.  
  I have an eMac so I was wondering if I might have better luck using  
the USB interface to connect to the external drive?

Thanks,

Phil
