 Interesting.  I have a very similar board in my test machine.
 
 Differences are that I am running i386 and not amd64.
 
 A couple of things I'd like to have tested.
 
 1.  Use a i386 livefs CD instead, just as a test.  See if the same
 problem manifests itself(icky, I really hope it's not this one).
 
 2.  after your BSD box is powered up, please set some debugging flags:
 	"sysctl debug.sbp_debug=2"
 	"sysctl debug.firewire_debug=2"
 	send me the output from the console when connecting your device.  You
 may be able to grab the dmesg and send it to me.
 
 3.  "fwcontrol" output and "fwcontrol -p" would be nice as well.
 
 4.  Specifically, what type of firewire drive is this?
