Is there any way to coax my FC3 system into creating the /dev/raw1394 devnode at system startup?
Create the node in /etc/udev/devices
Or follow the instructions at:

for figuring out a suitable udev rule for the device and then attach your rule to a bugzilla RFE so that everyone could benefit from it.
