This is just a warning for cooker developers about ZIP drives. Certain clones, like NEC ATAPI ZIP drive, should *NOT* be mounted as /dev/hdb4, but /dev/hdb.
I had to find this out and manually correct this for MDK 8.1, and am not
sure if this is taken into account in latest packages (judging from this
list).
Below is hdparm info for this NEC clone.
