I edited my fstab and replaced the existing ZIP entry with the following: /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
Did not reboot, since I'm told that the changes are automagically made. Typed "mount /mnt/zip" and got "mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a block device" again. Strange. Just for grins, I changed "hdd4" to "hdd" in the ZIP's fstab entry and tried again. Typed "mount /mnt/zip" and got "mount: /dev/hdd is not a block device". I changed the entry back to "hdd4" in fstab.
