recognising and mounting external ieee1394 DVD writer

[ccleung]

Thanks, but unfortunately, sdb1 is also occupied by another partition of the external hard drive. And by the way, I tried sdc1 and it did not work. So what next?

I'm no expert, but I'd have a go with

mkdir /mnt/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
