If the zip drive is IDE
check /etc/fstab : less /etc/fstab
the zip disk needs to be hdb4 the letter b may vary depending on the number
of drives, but the number 4 denoting partition number 4 needs to be their.
To get out of it is possible but a big pain.
Try linuxconf which may be an icon or in the menus for either kde or gnome.
Change it. Also MAKEDEV may help if you have it.
If the zip is scsi this might work also. Check the HOWTO on zips. It will
also mention perhaps the parrallel port version. The HOWTO is hard to
understand on this I admit.
Fot the floppy drive try posting the line with the floppy disk
information on it.
Again MAKEDEV might help-.
