How come everyone points to that when I could never get it to work? I must
have pulled out my hair for three or four days trying everything I could
to get MacBSD to recognize a Zip disk. I never got it to work but I think
the problem was using mkfs from the MacOS.

Although I finally gave up on a Zip drive, I also had problems with my
1.2G HD. I had to use newfs on MacBSD (with the proper parameters, the
defaults kept hosing my disk formatting) before it would work.

Also, I had to use the SBC kernel before my removable media drives would
work (I finally did get my Syquest 44 and 135 to work).

Good luck.
