modprobe ieee1394
modprobe ohci1394

dmesg

look if the firewire HD is recognised, if not try unplugging and 
plugging and do a dmesg again

then, and only if it showed up:

modprobe sbp2

wait I show you my iMac 400 MHz with my firewire HD switched on (dmesg 
paste)
:

you see that this HD is coupled to sda, so now:
[root@iMac jeroen]# pdisk -i

Top level command (? for help):
[root@iMac jeroen]#

and then I can mount the hfs partition somewhere:
[root@iMac jeroen]# mount -t hfs /dev/sda10 /mnt/disk

that is it...

then :
umount /dev/sda10
