[ltp] Firewire Hard disc on an A22p under mandrake 9.0 - howto

[Richard Neill]

Mandrake 9.0 appears broken in that the firewire stuff fails on boot.
This means that the drive never appears in /dev

Anyway, to my surprise, the fix is very easy. The pages that tipped me 
off are here:

The basic process is
1)rmmod sbp2;
2)insmod sbp2 to force it to find the disk and register /dev/sda1
3)create a mount point for it
4)mount

If anyone would like more details, I'll post them in full.
