I use an external firewire hard drive with my iBook G4. For me the
mac-support branch is still broken:

(from yaboot)
$ sudo ofpath /dev/sda3
/pci@f4000000/firewire@e/node@0090a993e05052f3/sbp-2/@0:3

(mac-support branch)
$ sudo ./ofpathname /dev/sda3
/pci@f4000000/firewire@e/@0

(master branch)
$ sudo ./ofpathname /dev/sda3
/pci@f4000000/firewire@e/scsi@0/sd@0,0
