Include 'Support for foreign partition tables' in the kernel configuration, 
and select Amiga partition support from the available foreign partition 
formats. 

If that option is missing in your 2.2 kernel source, 1) blame Linus, 2) use
the m68k kernel source.

If you want to access the AmigaOS partitions, include AFFS filesystem
support as well. Again, the above caveat applies. (And I said 'blame', not
'flame' :-)
