You really don't want to turn off fsck. Especially if it's a production box.
Second easiest way is to build an initrd image that loads the IEEE1394 and SCSI drivers as the kernel boots. mkinitrd allows specifying modules for inclusion.
Easiest way will be to statically link the needed drivers into the kernel, rather than building them as modules.
I'm slow today.
The *elegant* way would be to leave the firewire drive out of /etc/fstab altogether, and use amd to automount it for the backup.
The beauty of that is that amd will automagically unmount the drive after the backup is finished. Having it mounted full-time is dangerous and negates much of the value of doing backups in the first place.
