Firewire (ieee1394) with SuSE 8.1

Can anyone tell me how to mound firewire drive in SuSE 8.1? IEEE1394 support is installed, but have not gotten any further.I remember going through hell trying to get it to work in 8.0. After rebooting with drive connected, still nothing, There is nothing listied under hardware in Yast or Control center other than the IEEE1394 support for the PCI of the computer. What should the device be? Would think it should be under /media, but it is not. Please let me in on the secret. Art
