Going from memory (don't have the books in front of me) the sequence
is something like this (or you could use sysinstall):

basic sequence is something like:
	disk in drive (obvious)
	fdisk (see man page)
	disklabel (see man page, basically use "all of disk",
	           dangerously dedicated, etc)
	newfs
	mkdir <your mount point here>
	mount /dev/<wherever> <your mount point>

More specifically (please double check man pages/book first):

	SCSI Zip drive, on the first SCSI host,
	at SCSI id 0:

	fdisk /dev/da0
	disklabel /dev/da0
	newfs /dev/da0s1c  (c is the "whole disk partition")
	mkdir /zip
	mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1c /zip
