Juging by the HOWTO it should be no different than mounting any IDE
disk.
The HOWTO says for IDE devices NO extra kernel support is needed, so
there is no need to recompile your kernel, normaly speaking all
drivers are included in the standard distribution install.
Depending what filesystem is on the device.
mkdir /zip
edit /etc/fstab add a line like;
/dev/hdb1 /zip ext2 noauto 0 0
mount /dev/hdb1
Should do the trick, providing you have an ext2 filesystem on the
drive (according to the HOWTO), note the drive will not be ounted at
bootime, for that replace "noauto" with defaults in /etc/fstab.
Note2, i dont have one of these devices, i am quoting the HOWTO.

Hi,
thanks for all the responses.
Ok,here are all the details that I can remember, not being in from of the
system.
(logged in as root)
msdos support built into kernel
mount -t msdos /dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip ### Zip is primary slave.
Then the system tells me that i the device has a bad superblock, or
something. Sorry for wasting your time.
I'll try to get more accurate, when I reinstall tonight (I stuck on W2000).
Thanks,
Barry.
