| Start using native tools
| ------------------------
| The incantation that I finally got to work is:
| 
| 	  mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2:1 /zip
| 
| (This is without vold controlling the zip drive, as that blocks things
| like eject and mount from using /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2.)

Why is this a problem? Obviously they can be told to use the vold-controlled
device for floppy disks, shouldn't that be doable with zips as well?
