Here is my /etc/mtab... I've got no experience with it, so I'm attaching the whole file...

/dev/hda1 / ext2 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0

/dev/hdb1 /var ext2 rw 0 0
/proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43 0 0

Ok, the problem I see is that there is no entry in mtab for the hdd device. Mtab is mounttable.  Again I am not at home, and using a M$ computer so I can't give you the entry, but if someone on the list will jump in here and provide a line. I think that you need to add an entry in lilo append line also. Have you tried going to harddrake and seeing if the zip shows up there, if so, is the configuration bar active at the bottom of the screen. If it is can you do a configuration from there?  I will check the entry for mtab and a zip device when I can get to my home office computer, assuming we don't have some help from the list by then.
