I've just installed -current (4.99.13) on a FireWire drive,
and it seems to work
so far (for *very* light use).
If at all possible I'd give -current (or 4.0, when
available) a try, because the
flaky FireWire code from 3.x was completely replaced with an
implementation from
FreeBSD.

I am using a box based on a Prolific chipset (3507?). Things
may also depend on
the host's hardware: My G3 iBook tends to work better with
FireWire devices than
my G4 cube.
