I was hoping someone familiar with a ZIP drive would standup, I can only
make guesses ;-)

I have the feeling that the disklabel on the ZIP-disk is not the type of
label that is recognized by the NetBSD/atari code. Maybe endian problems?

Did you try disklabel on the zip? If so, does it say something sensible?
If not, you can try disklabel (or edlabel) to try put a label on it.
