Look at the Amiga Fast File System driver.  
Try this:

mkdir /mnt/sdc1
mount -t affs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1

Where sdc is the name of the scsi disk that has your amiga file system on.
Boot up messages or the dmesg command will confirm this.  1 is the first
partition on the disk.  You may try different numbers for /dev/sdc[1,2,3..]

You may have to load the affs kernel module before it will mount with something
like this as root:
# modprobe affs

If the above doesn't work then you probably have to recompile the kernel just
to get a loadable module.
