That sounds about right. FW, like USB will provide power; my 2.5" FW drive is bus powered. I wonder if it's not waiting for the unpowered drive/powered interface to respond before it moves on. If that's the case, this is a non-error error. It's just waiting, then it times out. In that case this should not be related to any further problems with the system.
