Like to mount Firewire CD drive while running in LiveCD

[Heavyt]

I would like to mount my firewire cdrom (to transfer data to my hda4 / ), while being in the gentoo lived (which is running in my TiBook cdrom drive ).

I was able to modprobe ieee1394, ohci1394, and sbp2. But I canÕt get my firewire drive mounted. Is it doable?

Well, after a bit of a wait, I was going to suggest that you try asking the same question over on the Gentoo forums, but I see you have already done that.

I honestly don't have the answer to your question, and a Google search turned up very little, I fear.

Got it to work by using livecd-r4 of Gentoo then doing

modprobe ieee1394
modprobe ohci1394
modprobe sbp2 mount -t iso9660 /dev/scr0 /mnt/cdrom

For some reason I did not have any luck with livecd-r7. Also I had to run unload and load the modules a few time before the drive was found. This code will show the drive info after linux has found it

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Excellent news! Now, did you post *that* on the Gentoo forums? :D
