you need to load the following modules (note you may need usb-ohci
instead of usb-uhci depending on your usb controller) I have mine listed
in /etc/modules, you might prefer to tack tem on at the end of rc.local
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-uhci
insmod usb-storage
then add the following to /etc/fstab
/dev/zip /mnt/zip auto user,noauto,nosuid,nodev 0 0
(note /dev/zip is a symlink to /dev/sda4, and I used auto as filetype
since I have a few ext2 formatted zip disks)
create the /mnt/zip mountpoint
and all should be good
