Thx, I already got those fixes in my source-tree and I'm going to send it to Linus within long, when I get it cleaned up a little further.
A few things you should note about the AFFS support, it's read-only (I forgot to add that to Config.in) and its big-endian dependent. I will not recommend that you include AFFS in non-m68k kernels for the time being (some guy, whos name I can never remember, made it read-write and useable on the PC). Besides you will never be able to read AFFS floppies on anything but an Amiga due to hardware limitations in the standard floppy-controllers found in most systems.
At last, as Linus stated, the m68k support is not fully integrated so it is currently not possible to compile a m68k kernel from the native source-tree.
Regards, Jes
