Boot to your OS X installer disk (put the disk in the drive, restart, hold "C" at chime until the apple comes up)
Depending on your particular version of OS X (Panther, Tiger, Leopard), go to either the "Installer" menu or the "Utilities" menu and select "System Profiler"
See whether your FireWire bus (and any attached devices) show up under the Firewire heading.
