RE: Cannot Recognise External Drive (sbp2 problem?) -- SOLVED

I've now succeeded in recognising my drive. After sending my first post I
understood why I got the errors - I was not executing rescan-scsi-bus.sh as
root - I thought I already was root :( Unfortunately running
rescan-scsi-bus.sh was not enough (i.e. no change). So I followed the
pointers in the FAQ ("My FireWire hardisk/CD-ROM/DVD-Recorder is not
recognized. Now what?"):

1. executed "modprobe -r sbp2", "modprobe sbp2" and looked in
/var/log/messages ("cat /var/log/messages" and "tail /var/log/messages") but
didn't find anything.
2. unloaded all 1394 modules (specifically sbp2, ohci1394, raw1394 and
ieee1394, in that order).
3. ran the command modprobe ohci1394 && modprobe sbp2
3. rescanned the bus once more

root@0[Desktop]# ./rescan-scsi-bus.sh
Host adapter 0 (ide-scsi) found.
Host adapter 2 (sbp2_0) found.

Thanks everyone, especially Stefan. Now I know what I have to do, but is
there an easy way to automate this process? Is it just a matter of creating
a script that performs all the commands (unload modules, modprobe the two
modules, rescan bus, mount drives) I performed above? Are there any
superfluous steps?
