Adding a FireWire Drive
 
First, I'm using Fecora Core 1. Installed on a Compaq Aramada 500 (a laptop) that has a PCMCIA FireWire controller connected to an external 80GB HD.

Fedora wasn't able to use the drive. I don't know why. I've searched a bit, and found that by issuing rescan-scsi-bus.sh (that I got from linux1394.org
I can get linux to use it (after this command it appears in /proc/scsi/scsi, and can be mounted).

And finally, to My question :
How do I make that happen AUTOMATICALLY, at every boot?

And while we're at it ,
Is there a way to move most (if not all) of the harddrive to the new drive?
I'd like to leave /boot and maybe /etc on the old drive (it's a 4GB HD) and have the entire / (except these two) moved to the new HD.
Is that at all possible???

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.
