You may have been bitten by Panther's Firewire bug, although your 
symptoms are not quite typical (and I think it affected earlier 
versions). Check out reports of this problem -- e.g., here

and see if they fit. If not, post more details (which version of 
Panther did you install, was the drive connected during installation, 
etc.).
