Currently (i.e. 5.0-RELEASE with me), I cannot access ZIP disks if there wasn't any medium in the ZIP drive at boot time, as devfs doesn't create the device files for the slices (which is understandable, as there weren't any slice then). "camcontrol rescan" (it's a SCSI device) apparently just scans for devices and doesn't help with creating the slices' device files.
