Has anyone had any luck in hooking up a Speedzter5 external USB2/Firewire enclosure? I'm running Slackware 9.1 and I've been googling for a while on this with no luck. I look through dmesg and the USB2 part gets dected fine. I see things like the scsi0 bus and generic device /dev/sg0 when it's connected with the USB2 cable, but I don't see anything when I boot with the Firewire cable. I also haven't found the definitive way to write it up in /etc/fstab. I don't know whether to use sd0, sa0, sg0 or what. Each thing I find when searching uses a different device and I'm getting kind of frustrated. The drive is a 6GB drive formatted with FAT32.

I want the drive to have a mount point of /mnt/ext and you can see above that I have it going to sg0. I have no idea if that's right. When I grep dmesg, I see:
