is it reasonable to be able to select that you want to support
Acorn filesystems while not selecting Acorn partition support?
same with Amiga filesystems and partitions, and possibly others,
i wasn't trying to be exhaustive. just curious.

Yes. Consider a loopback mount of a dd'ed image of a partition....

Yes. A natively formatted Acorn drive will only have one filesystem on
it without any form of partition table. Even with a partition table,
/dev/hda or /dev/hda1 will be the same filesystem.
Obviously mounting both is not recommended.
