 |Ok, cool.  Thanks to a couple of fine folks on this list, I now have
 |my zip drive working w/r/t msdos mounting and raw device usage.  Now,
 |I'd like to create "real" filesystems on Zip drives, but I don't have
 |a disktab entry for it.

You don't need a new disktab.  Just use that one.

To create a "real" (i.e. UFS) file system on a ZIP, here's a script I use
that might help get you started.  make-ufs-zip.sh uses Darryl Okahata's
(darrylo@hpnmhjw.sr.hp.com) enhanced fdisk that allows the partition info
to be specified via stdin.

You'll probably need to tweak the device as my SCSI zip is on sd0, and I
don't know what device a parallel ZIP sits on (lpd0? :-).

Hope this gets you goin'.
