Ideally yes, but this is where I got stuck.  In particular, rmmount
and volcheck don't seem to deal with zip disks; maybe there's just
another change to a conf file that needs to be made, or I just need
more syntax clue, but I figure it's time for people who better
understand vold to take a look.

Oh, and I should have noted that the following works when vold is
managing the zip drive:

	mount -F pcfs /vol/dev/dsk/c0t5d0/unlabeled:1 /zip
