I've been able to access may ieee1394 drives.
Everything is fine as far as drivers are concerned, but with recent kernels there remains some stuff to be done in user space. I think it's what rescan-scsi-bus is for. I did it manually by
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
and the hd'a are recognized under long path like /dev/scsi/host0/……/target0/lun0/disc.
This long path is not so much a problem as d-i knows about them when it's time to partition them.


You have to disrupt normal d-i process to have acces to a shell for entering the echo command. After exiting the shell, the d-i finely goes on, you can partition the disk and the system is installed on it.

Unfortunately I was unable to actually achieve the installation, because yaboot.conf can't be written -- sid the error message. It's perhaps due to my 800k bootstrap partition non being HFS formatted.
