Mounting iomega zip drive

[E. J. Cerejo]

I use to be able to mount my paralell zip drive with
the following command under Fbsd 4.x:

mount -t msdos /dev/da0s4 /zip

now I'm running 5.3 I can't, what changed?

I noticed that there is only da0 in my /dev directory,
I have this in my kernel:

# SCSI peripherals
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
#device ch # SCSI media changers
device da # Direct Access (disks)
#device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc)
device atapicam # emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI
ditto via CAM
device cd # CD
device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI
access)
#device ses # SCSI Environmental Services (and
SAF-TE)

do I need anything else?

Try running "cdrecord -scanbus", and see if the device number is
different. This sounds somewhat similar to a problem I was having with
a flash drive and DVD-burner.

I've got a parellel port zip drive running on a 5.3 system at home. From
memory, I think what you need is:
