This site: http://www.vmunix.com/mark/FreeBSD/ZIP-FAQ.html contains some info about using Zip drives and disks with FreeBSD. Altho I haven't tried a Zip disk formatted with ufs or ffs, I have tried one formatted with ext2fs, one with msdosfs, and also one I have been writing a raw tarball to (tar cvf /dev/afd0 ...) - none will eject using eject(1). The eject button on the front of the drive works as expected, allowing a Zip disk to be ejected provided it is not mounted, which makes me think that the eject(1) command simply does not recognise or support IDE Zip drives.
