Just for giggles I've tried a few firewire hard drives on
1386-current. With two different enclosures, with two different ide drives,
one of which is a macally that I believe is using the oxford 911 bridge,
autoconfig detects an attached scsibus, but no devices attached to it are
found. [I have a firewire cd burner to, but no scsibus found at all on that
one]

I'm using the GENERIC_LAPTOP  config file with the following
firewire related stuff added to GENERIC.local

#fwohci* at pci? dev ? function ?       # IEEE1394 Open Host Controller
fwohci* at cardbus? dev ? function ?    # IEEE1394 Open Host Controller
#fw*    at fwbus?                       # IP over 1394

# IEEE1394 nodes
fwnode* at fwbus? idhi ? idlo ?
sbpscsi* at fwnode?
scsibus* at sbpscsi?

options SBPSCSI_DEBUG


I've tried it with and without some other FW realated debug options as well.
GENERIC_LAPTOP already contains 

sd*     at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI disk drives


here's an example of the relavent console log messages I get

also "scsictl scsibus0 scan any any" just hangs. 

Is this just the current state of things, or am I missing something obvious?
If anyone would care to suggest any usb or firewire enclosures that are
known to work reasonably well, I would appreciate it.
