Here is what I get if I try that command after rebooting (power-cycle)
the sa3250hd:

# firewire_tester -n 0 -B -v

If I reset the bus then try it again:

# 1394reset
successfully got handle
current generation number (driver): 1
1 card(s) found
  nodes on bus:  2, card name: ohci1394
using adapter 0
found: 2 nodes on bus, local ID is 1, IRM is 1

successfully reset the bus (long bus reset)
found: 2 nodes on bus, local ID is 1, IRM is 1
current generation number (adapter): 11
