I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work - the zip drive is
treated as a SCSI drive (a Parallel port Zip drive is basically
a Parallel port to SCSI converter with a SCSI Zip drive). Hence
to boot from one, you just need to have the following:
1) A kernel containing the ppa or imm driver (depending on your
zip drive).
2) Supply 'root=/dev/sda1' or whatever on the kernel command line.
However, I haven't tried this as yet, so don't take it as a 100%
it works.
