(difficult as you need to mount the root filesystem before installing the modules needed to access a firewire drive)
Sounds like a case for initrd -- or for compiling the modules into the kernel. Am I wrong, is that what you did, or did you do it some other way?
initrd or recompiling the kernel would most likely have needed an existing Debian powerpc install, which i didn't have. So i just mounted a directory via NFS as the root. The installer then unpacked the modules there, i installed the modules and remounted /target.
It might be worth wikiing this, y'know. ;-)
I'm planning to.
