Yeah (under NetBSD/sun3 rather than NetBSD/sparc, but the differences
are minor).  It was neither harder nor easier than labeling any other
disk; the only significant difference was that the zip drive does not
support mode sense pages 4 and 5, and the kernel I was running produced
noise in that case, so I had some noise messages to ignore.  Aside from
that it Just Worked.

Admittedly, I _was_ using sunlabel rather than disklabel.
