I don't know if these are any help to you, so let us know how you get 
along:

   $ disktool -l
   ***Disk Appeared ('disk0',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
   ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s1',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = 
'')
   ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s2',Mountpoint = '/', fsType = 'hfs', volName 
= 'System')
   ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s3',Mountpoint = '/Volumes/Stroller', fsType 
= 'hfs', volName = 'Stroller')
   ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s4',Mountpoint = '/Volumes/Space', fsType = 
'hfs', volName = 'Space')

   $ drutil info

I haven't got any firewire drives here right now (but I will have later 
this week! 8-D), so would be interested to hear what they report for 
you.
