I installed a parallel port zip drive on my 3.4-stable BSD box.  With the
zip drive powered up and connected to the FBSD box, the FBSD box will
not start (Turn on the power, the box doesn't boot).  I can hear the power
supply start up but nothing else happens.

If I power down the zip drive, the FBSD box fires up normally.

Any one experienced this one yet?

My box is a P166, 32M RAM, 2 2GB disks.  It has an adaptec 1542 scsi controller
attached to a tower with 5 CDs and a 4mm HP DAT drive. The OS version is
FBSD 3.4-stable last cvsup'd in mid January.

Regards,

Jim
