Okay, I'm just about out of ideas here. First of all, do a "mount -a" whenever
you make an /etc/fstab change (at least).
You are using v8.1 of Mandrake, right? You also do have supermount disabled,
right? You do have a good, working Zip cart in your drive, right? You might
also try disabling devfs in /etc/lilo.conf, because it conflicts with things
sometimes. I had to disable it to get my CDRW to work.
If none of these things work, then I guess you'll have to ask for more help
from somebody with a little better Linux knowledge than I have.
Sorry I could not help more... ;-(
