The three most important things in using a ZIP:
1) SBC
2) SBC
3) SBC

:)

Actually, though, I'm serious.  Unless I was using it as the boot disk, i 
was unable to keep a zip going.  THen I put in an SBC kernel, and can do no 
wrong.  Just use the 1.4 mkfs, put a 40 in the first "0" that appears in the 
chart, and it works (as did just about everything else).

Oh, and remember to have at least a 1k swap partition after the real 
partition (1k swap is fine).  You *must* create the main partition before 
the swap, or it will be the "last" partition.
