This is:
FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #16: Sun Oct 24 13:17:23 GMT 1999
root@uniq.localdomain:/usr/src/sys/compile/UNIQ  i386

I'm having trouble getting my IDE Zip Drive to attach to
wfd0 at boot up.

from dmesg:

...
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC310100B>
wd0: 9671MB (19807200 sectors), 19650 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <IOMEGA  ZIP 100>
wd1: 96MB (196608 sectors), 512 cyls, 12 heads, 32 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <FX810T4/a03>, removable, intr, dma, iordis
acd0: drive speed 1377KB/sec, 256KB cache
...

It would appear that after the 'wdc0: unit 1...' is where most people
get a message about wfd0 and buggy Zip disks.

from config:
...
#============================== IDE DEVICES ==============================
controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1
controller      wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15
disk            wd2     at wdc1 drive 0
disk            wd3     at wdc1 drive 1
device          acd0            #IDE CD-ROM
device          wfd0    # IDE Floppy (ZIP Disk)

#============================== IDE OPTIONS ==============================
options         ATAPI           # Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
options         ATAPI_STATIC    # Don't do it as an LKM
options         IDE_DELAY=8000
...

I got the same results when I removed the 'disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1', and
as an experiment I tried adding 'at wdc0 drive 1' after 'device wfd0' but
that caused a kernel panic because the drive seemed to be getting
attached twice.

Backing up to/putting BSD partitions on a Zip disk would be a dream come
true so please help me.
