You can put a ufs or a msdos filesystem on it. I personally leave my Zips formatted for msdos so I can use them on both my installed OSes (Windows and FreeBSD). You would mount the Zip disk with this command: mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0c /mnt/zip where /mnt/zip is the mount point that you want. Use the cdrom line in the /etc/fstab file as a template for adding a line for your ZIP. I usually have two lines for my Zip. One for when it's formatted ufs (/mnt/zipu) and one for when it's formatted msdos (/mnt/zipm).
