FYI, I just updated the scripts to use scsi_info instead of the geometry output
from hdparm. This is a bit more elegant - the updated versions are online.

External 1394 disks have 2 problems:

1)After the system has booted, one must rmmod all the 1394 modules and then
re-modprobe them to get the disk detected. This may be a problem to do with
PCMCIA 1394 cards.

2)If there are 2 external removable disks (in my case a 120GB Hard Disk over
1394, and a 1 GB microdrive over a USB Compact Flash reader), then depending on
the order in which these are plugged in, either could be /dev/sda or /dev/sdb.
This is not predicatable, so, one must distinguish between them before mounting!

The URL includes my script (1394mount) to fix the problem. It may not be ideal,
but it does work OK for me :-)
