Use the `mount` command. Hopefully, somewhere in the HOW-TO there was
a step about putting a line in /etc/fstab. Just mention either the
device name or the mount point (directory) to mount, and you'll be able
to access it. Let's say that your zip drive is /dev/hdd (did you
create a '/dev/zip'?) and to be mounted at /mnt/zip. You could give
either of two commands:
mount /dev/hdd
mount /mnt/zip
Both would work; mount just looks in /etc/fstab for the corresponding
line. Be sure it's user-mountable ("user" being one of the
mount options) or else only root will be able to use the drive.
