Linux Redhat Enterprise 3.0 = no support for firewire HD?

I have been tasked with adding a hot swap drive to our Redhat Linux 9 box as
our backup solution, then upgrading to Linux Enterprise 3.0. I'm researching
how best to format and mount these drives in Redhat 9 before upgrading. Then
I ran across this article:

Using the Granite Digital Firewire Drive Bay with Red Hat Linux
http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/granite-digital-linux.html

..and it states near the bottom,
"(Note added June 13, 2004) I have just "upgraded" our system to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3.0, and find that it has no support whatsover for firewire
hard drives. We were able to find some information about adding support at
Dell which seems to work. A recently obtained Fedora does have similar
support to RH9."

Can anyone verify if this is true? (!)

Thanks,
Eve
