Another trick I used in the past with a removable drive situation was
to look for the second one. If it exists and can be read then you can
link it to /dev/firewiredrive and link /dev/sda to /dev/usbdrive. If
it does not exist then link /dev/firewiredrive to /dev/sda and link
/dev/usbdrive to /dev/null. Then "manually" mount the drives within
your script.
