Here are the results of this example:

[root@mrroboto root]# mount -a 
[root@mrroboto root]# mount /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/hdb4 is not a valid block device

and it is the same if i use sdb4

This is the slave on the Primary.
hda = 40 hd
hdb = zip 100
hdc = sony cdrw
hdd = toshiba cdrom
sda1 = 9.1G Seagate

Oddly enough sda1 although set to, will not mount at boot. It will mount fine once 
booted and all.
The SCSI card is Adaptec 2940.

mobo = Tyan 2390b
Primary is using ATA100

Here is my /etc/fstab entry (works fine):

/dev/hdc4       /mnt/zip        vfat nosuid,user,noauto,nodev   0 0

Just another example.
