When I insert a zip the /dev for the partition doesn't get created (ie hdd4, fdisk shows it though).



My Zips always show up as /dev/sda4 (scsi disks).


Do you have SCSI support compiled in? For me it doesn't (I have no SCSI support in, as well.) Are you using a USB ZIP? I have a ATAPI ZIP, so it makes no sense appearing as a SCSI device.

Yes, I have SCSI support compiled into the kernel, and SCSI-disk as well.
If you have SCSI/SCSI-disk support compiled as modules they should be loaded
automatically.

As far as I know all Zip drives are SCSI devices disguised as parallel/USB/
IDE devices, but all required SCSI-disk support because that is what they
really are underneath the disguise.

Try it and see what happens.
