I've never done an install on a Zip disk, or even formatted and mounted one for 
that matter, although there is a FAQ on the subject, whose url was just recently
posted. Unless things are different for Zip disks, what you need is a disk 
formatting utility, along the lines of LaCie's Silverlining or APS's PowerTools.
Apple's HD SC may be able to do this for you as well. I'd check out the FAQ 
(http://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq) for more complete 
info. 

By the way, with very minor changes, apache runs like clockwork. Hope all goes 
well for you.
