Well, now I know why ide-scsi won't work for me. When I compiled my kernel, I did not configure it for SCSI disk support (# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is not set), I have no sd_mod.o module. So, with my kernel, I need to load ide-floppy before ide-scsi so that I can access my Zip drive as an IDE device (/dev/hdc4). I can live with that. At least now I know why.
