If your FireWire is indeed working, you should be able to mount the
external drive in the same way as USB mass storage. SCSI emulation should
make the drive look like SCSI device, and mounting shouldn't be an issue.

Look at "dmesg" and check where the device is being put during boot (if
anywhere at all...)

For example, when booting, my PC does this with my USB MMC card reader.

... it doesn't mount coz I don't have any card it it!

Try doing a mount of the device "mount -t vfat /dev/scd0 /tmp/testmount"
