modprobe ohci1394 (IEEE1394 chipset support)
modprobe sbp2 (disks)
modprobe raw1394 (other stuff)

Note that IEEE1394 disks are seen as SCSI devices, so you'll need to
have scsi_mod and sd_mod loaded as well. You probably have those things
loaded already, though, since SATA disks are so common now.
