The parallel SCSI driver is a separate driver.
(the Zip does SCSI commands but over the Parallel port)
Use the mail archives accessable through www.freebsd.org (support page)
to find the pointer to it..
once it's loaded you access the zip as sd0.

The userland ppp (man ppp) is easier to set up and has more features, at
the expense of performance (a bit).
check that out as well.
have you checked /etc/host.conf as well?
