Huh, that's not supposed to happen. Can you quote a little more from
your error messages?
You might also try experimenting with the `od' driver. It is better
targeted for the requirements of a changeable media device. In order
to register your Zip drive with the `od' driver, you gotta add a quirk
record to sys/scsi/scsconf.c. Something like:

Of course, you need to replace the "ZIP*" by whatever you drive sends
as inquiry data (see the boot message logs). It's possible that the
above patch doesn't apply to non-current systems, i had to reorder
some of the entries in that table recently. But you should get the
picture.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
