Is there a >page os instructions you can point me to for setting this up? Not as far as I know. I had to piece together clues from the FAQ and the mailing list. It turns out to be easy :) 1. Check your kernel. You need the options "scbus0", "da0", "ppbus0", and "vpo0" uncommented. By default all of these but vpo0 are uncommented. If you need to, make a new kernel. 2. That's it. When you want to mount it, it's da0s4 (I don't know why), so you would 'mount /dev/da0s4 /mnt/zip' or whatever.
