Hi,

when I do:

# modprobe ppa

everything goes along happily:

ppa: Version 1.42
ppa: Probing port 03bc
ppa: Probing port 0378
ppa:     SPP port present
ppa:     PS/2 bidirectional port present
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2
ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2
ppa: Probing port 0278
scsi0 : Iomega parport ZIP drive
scsi : 1 host.
  Vendor: IOMEGA    Model: ZIP 100           Rev: J.03
    Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

But it doesn't allocate a device.  When I try:

# mount /dev/sda1 /zip

It complains that its not a block device, and that I should try loading
a driver.  The HOWTOs say that
the device should be allocated automatically.

Any suggestions?
