I use a script which is floating around in a lot of places on the internet to rescan my busses, then use the command

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/firewire

I find that firewire devices such as HDs and cameras show up there more often. In my case, I have two partitions on my Firewire drive, so they are actually /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6. Don't ask me why!

I paste the script below. It is usually named rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Good lusk,
D.
