unless the camera is a digital photo camera, it won't be mountable.  you
need to use a tool that knows how to control the camera over firewire
(dvgrab, kino etc) and can stream the video off the camera.

http://linux1394.org/ is a good place to start for all things linux and
ieee-1394 related.  in their faq, you might find this helpfull:
