Nico van Eikema Hommes has just submitted a wonderful new HOWTO on getting
ZIP drives to work under NetBSD.  I'm working on getting it formatted and
will have it up on ftp.macbsd.com before the week is out, hopefully.  But,
the quick bit of advice that it gives is to use Mkfs 1.4, not 1.2.

I hope this helps.

Later.
