Well, I can tell you what I did to get mine to work, ymmv.  Mine is an ide 
250.  
Fstab had it listed as a /dev/hdd4 but harddrake saw it:  /dev/hdd
I changed /etc/fstab to:  /dev/hdd /mnt/zip auto user,noauto 0 0
and now I can mount it.  I have supermount disabled still at this point.  I'm 
just happy I can manually mount everything now.  :-)

So anyway, try changing your /etc/fstab to /dev/hdb and mounting it.  

hth,
