Yep. Just partition the disk with a modern-enough version of one of
the partitioning programs listed in a question elsewhere in this section
Then mkfs -t e2fs /dev/sdxx (with the right device and partition info),
and mount /dev/sdxx /mnt.
You can figure out the device number by looking at the boot messages
(try "dmesg"), and you can figure out the partition number with
disklabel or pdisk.

I partitioned a jaz disk with silverlining v5.6.4/26 and everything works hunky dory.

I formatted my jaz, with pdisk. It's a little hard to use, but if you
gotta run Linux, it works. One caveat: you can't preserve your HFS
partition, so you can't have a MacOS partion.

I used Anubis Utility and created 3 A/UX partitions, and 1 HFS (MacOS) partition on a jaz.
It Boots fine, and the speed is normal. I was actually wondering if I could mount an HFS Zip disk
under Linux. any thoughts?

For me, on Powerbook G3 (linuxppc 2000), the thing that worked was -
1. create and write partition using pdisk,
2. format partition for linux by -> /sbin/mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdc
where hdc is my zip drive, right bay (the left bay would be hde). Now,
zip drive can be mounted using mount /dev/hdc command.
