Hello I have been using my zip drive with linux since Caldera 1.3 in 1999. All zips have the fourth partition. I have to reformat the disk if I want an ext2 (see mini-howto on zip). You can check that by issuing the command fdisk /dev/sda and then list the partitions.
As for your questions, the answer is no because linux can't mount "the whole disk". It is like trying to mount /dev/hda as /. One normally mounts /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 or etc. Many thanks Ed > > The 4 in the sda4 is supposed to refer to a partition number on the drive.
