Thanks Drew, 

But this is only of it's connected to the powerbook right?   

The scenario.... I have about 10 gigs of MP3 on a 60gb external firewire
drive connected to the G4 running Mac OS9.   On my Powerbook (Mandrake
8.2 beta), I'd like to mount the firewire drive, across the network, so
that I can access the MP3's, I don't want to physically connect the
drive.
