external USB harddrive should be recognize as SCSI device, so to mount it:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mountpoint

if that doesn't work, try sda2, sda3, etc, assuming you don't have any SCSI 
drive already. If you do, then you may want to try sdbX, or even sdcX 
(depends on how many SCSI you already have).

I don't know about firewire.. sorry.
