It's near identical. Since you have the USB stuff already working, you
don't have to mess around with SCSI stuff from scratch :)
Just compile the kernel (module or directly) for firewire, ohci1394, and
SBP-2 device support. If compiled as modules, load the modules and mount
the drive in the same manner you did the USB.
