Open up a shell and type 'setconfig dosmount "". Once you've done that soft reboot and you should have access to your fat partitions through amigaos.

If that doesnt work you'll need to install fat95, but if memory serves me correctly it's unnecessary with a lot of hardware on amithlon. It's been a while since I set things up from scratch and did most of this sort of initial setup tweaking a while ago, so it's a little hazy :)

Anyway, let me know how using setconfig goes. It's can be a little crash happy when mounting the drives/partitions this way, but only needs to be done once per session and drives will appear with all susbequent soft reboots, so its not too much of an issue.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Oh, and '""' in the setconfig line represents the fat partition you want to mount. You can use individual partitions, but I forget the labels it gives them :)
'""' obviously just mounts them all.
