I can't get my parallel port zip drive to work. Here is what I have done so
far;

I added this entry to /etc/fstab

/dev/sda4         /mnt/zip        auto      defaults,noauto        0       0

added this entry to /etc/conf.modules

alias block-major-8  ppa

added this entry to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

/sbin/insmod ppa

Now zip drive drivers are in the kernal as a module, so is the printer
driver. When I reboot, the kernal is supposed to detect the zip drive, but
it does not. If I then try "just for drill " to mount the zip drive I get
the message "kernal does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device maybe
insmod driver" . Then if I open up a terminal window and try " insmod ppa"
I get the message "device or resource busy " . No its not the printer
driver conflicting because I first  "rmmod lp ". Any Ideas ???
