My cooker install from right around RC1 set up my ieee1394 interface so it comes up on boot (as a service). I had a couple hard drives plugged in during the install though, so I don't know who it would deal with a ieee1394 card with no devices plugged in. raw1394 would be another story, maybe a helper script with the kino rpm could set this up. Also I think you need the video1394 module and or the dv1394 module. Also I think you need libdv and maybe dvgrab as well, but they should all be brought in as dependencies for Kino, or transcode.
Only issue I had was one I experienced a while ago, which was diskdrake wanted to had my firewire hd's partitions to fstab hand have them automounted, etc. Problem is that if you have a crash, and have to do a hard reboot, the fs checks are before the ieee1394 drivers are loaded so you have to go into a maintenance mode and comment them out of the fstab to boot cleanly. My solution was to not mount them on boot. and mount them when needed with a right click on the desktop.
