    Here's on of those things that should be simple but is
    giving me a surprising number of headachs...

    I'm trying to mount a parallel zip drive on FreeBSD
    4.8. I did re-configure my kernel to include the vpo
    driver and I get the following message on "dmesg":

    vpo0: <Iomega VPI0 Parallel to SCSI interface> on
    ppbus0
    vpo0: EPP mode
    vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
    vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)

    The errors are a little worrying, but it does seem to
    be seeing the drive. Then, when trying to mount it, I
    get this error:

    mount_msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured

    I'm sure there's something very small and simple that
    I'm doing wrong, and I'd be grateful if someone would
    kindly point it out.

    Thanks a lot,
    Alex
