FireWire... no idea

USB ->I had a similar problem using an USB stick
Make sure that you can see it : /sbin/lsusb
Then,
mkdir /mnt/usb  (or /mnt/media) up to you
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usb  -> should work :-)

The USB stick needs to be recognized as "vfat" (most of the the time
coming
from a Windows Machine)
Perhaps the iPod works as the same way....

I did hear some people having trouble on "sda1", and got no error
messages
with "sda"

Let''s try with the iPod :-)

Look in /var/log/messages or do "dmesg | more" after bootup or
attaching
the devices...

The other devices should be /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1, etc.

you should also be able to do "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" do see recognized
devices

and if you got into /proc/scsi and look around, you can get more info
about and devices that are there using cat.

They might get automounted into /media ....
