Ben:  

Drive mount works on my RH6.0 box for both floppy and Jaz (which oughta
be similar to Zip).  Here are the relevant lines in /etc/fstab:

/dev/fd0      	/mnt/floppy    vfat            
noauto,user,async,suid,umask=0000         0 0
/dev/sdc4       /mnt/jaz       vfat    	
noauto,user,async,suid,umask=0000

I'm not sure what difference the "noauto" or "async" make, but they
could be relevant...
