Hello all.

I tried to follow the steps as described in the "How to use a ZIP
disk"-section at the "Other FAQs and HOWTOs"-page. The disklabel of my
zip is included below. Mounting the 'e'-partition of this zip fails with
an "Invalid argument" error message. The zip is configured as follows:

wd1 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 1: <IOMEGA ZIP 100>

Any help is greatly appreciated.
