The internal HD of my Atari TT was installed under TOS with the old AHDI
(= plain TOS-partitioning) divided into 10 partitions
(yeah, a perhaps a little bit exaggerated) and later, after upgrading to
MagiC transformed to VFAT. All partitions, including C (FAT only), are
addressed under MagiC with HDDriver now and can be mounted without
exceptions under Debian Linux 2.0 and 2.1!
Mounting command is:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
One problem you might encounter is that specific bug of the install
routine coming with slink. The only way to cope with it: Choose a harddisk
with the first partition smaller than half of the total disk volume.
That's what I had to do when installing slink on a 1 GB external HD.

No tricks, it should work the normal way. If tricks are necessary, it is
the installation soft to cope with it, not you.
I don't know the possible problems coming with an IDE drive though.
