I'm too lazy to reboot into FBSD now (I don't have net on
fbsd), so I can only tell you to grep LINT. Basically, it
works something like

device vpo0 at ppbus?

Or whatever, I may be messing this up. The zip drive is
considered a SCSI disk, so it would be da0 if you don't have
any other scsi devices, or da* if you do. You need to have
the scsi subsystem enabled to. To use it, type:

mount -t msdod /dev/da0s4 /zip

(Don't ask me why slice 4, it's just the way it works)
