This comes standard in the 3.2 Generic Kernel. (I earlier
versions too...) I removed the '#' sign from the front of vpo0 
to get the drive to work...

# Parallel port
device          ppc0    at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7
controller      ppbus0
device          lpt0    at ppbus?
device          plip0   at ppbus?
device          ppi0    at ppbus?
controller      vpo0    at ppbus?

Funny thing.. I have not used my zip drive in a long
time.  I used to use /dev/da0s4. In fact, thats is what is
in my /etc/fstab.  Hrmmm.. The drive now works
using da0s1.. 

mark@slugo:/dos:>mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /dos/zip  

During bootup I get this...

ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 flags 0x40 on isa
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold
lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0
vpo0: <Iomega VPI0 Parallel to SCSI interface> on ppbus 0
vpo0: EPP 1.9 mode
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0  

[...snip...]

da0 at vpo0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
da0: <IOMEGA ZIP 100 J.03> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not
present
