I can't get my firewire hd mounted. The ieee1094 & ohci1394 seem to load
at boot-up IF THE HD IS NOT CONNECTED, otherwise is sticks when trying
to load the ohci1394. If I do a #dmesg with the hd connected I get the
following info for what I believe to be the firewire drivers and mods:

...
ohci1394: $Rev: 1010 $ Ben Collins <bcollins at debian.org>
ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[9]  MMIO=[e8201000-e82017ff]  Max

...
ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023 has non-standard ROM format (0 quads), cannot
parse

sbp2: $Rev: 1010 $ Ben Collins <bcollins at debian.org>
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices

ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
ieee1394: sbp2: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048]


I tried doing this:

# rmmod sbp2
# modprobe sbp2
# mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/fwE

and get the following error msg: 
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device


Well, if anyone can make sense of this so that I can mount my fw hd NTFS
partition I would appreciate it.
