so probably there isn't any easy workaround short of recompiling the
installer-stuff.

In the "normal" kernel at least (that thing that is going to be used after =
a
successful install) the firewire is just available as a loadable kernel
module, eg. you have to type something like

# modprobe ohci1394
# modprobe sbp2

[ or try #modprobe ohci1394 && modprobe sbp2 ]

as root, before any firewire-drive can be mounted. If you like to put your
whole /-partition on a firewire disk, you will have to build a customized
kernel which includes the firewire drivers.

7 for OSX, 3 for 9, =3D 10 MB, any free space in addition to that??
