Donald,

'potato' directory

Works okay with my Blizzard SCSI-IV so I reckon it just won't support
Squirrels.

Within Linux you need to type:
mkdir -p /amiga (not so sure about this bit, -p should set /mnt as a
mountpoint)
mount -o ro -t afss /dev/hda2 /amiga (I'm sure about this bit)

Then your AmigaFFS partition should appear (read-only) in the directory
/amiga.

I think, hope this works dor you.. :-)

Cheers,
Kevin
