Yup, it's already enabled.  SCSI and IDE are probed at boot.  If it's
parallel, try "modprobe ppa", it should tell you what device it's
attached to.  /dev/sda, I think.  If that works, you can add:
alias scsi_hostadapter ppa
to /etc/conf.modules, and :
/dev/sda4       /mnt/zip       vfat    user,noauto,defaults    0 0
to /etc/fstab
