    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
