Not firewire -- firewire disks.

Why?
Only minimal kernel on installation media and large /boot/loader.conf
(on installation media) with all current drivers from GENERIC don't
double requirements for space, on the contrary, space requirements
reduced by reducing new GENERIC.

Next step: after install sysincstall/bsdinstall/pc-install may reduce
/boot/loader.conf and move some drivers to kld_list.
