How would you set up the zip disk in the fstab file?
I have a beige G3, and have the zip on internal SCSI, and i've been trying
to figure this one out for a while, i've set up the fstab folder with
sda5(scsi id) /mnt/zip hfs 0 0
and this doesn't seem to be working, any thoughts?

That depends on what filesystem the zip disks you use are going to be. If
it's from a PC, use dos. If it's from another Linux machine, use ext2. If
it's from a Mac, use hfs (make sure the disk is NOT HFS+, it won't be able
to read it). ISO9660 is the standard for CD-ROMs, you can't have an ISO9660
Zip disk (I'm pretty sure, but not 100% sure of that)
You may want to set it to auto detect the filesystem if you are going to use
zip disks from multiple OSs.
