    After doing a clean install of 9.1, I find that printing of email from mozilla
    is broken, I have absolutely no USB functionality, and my internal ide zip 250
    is not recognized. Based on a suggestion that the zip drive should follow the
    protocol for a floppy, and due to boot message identifying the zip as hdf, see
    below, I modified /etc/fstab to read as follows:

    /dev/hdf /media/zip auto noauto,user,exec 0 0

    Bootup now displays the following info:

    <4>hdf: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
    <6>hdf: 244766kB, 489532 blocks, 512 sector size
    <6>hdf: 244736kB, 239/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
    <5>hdf: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384 bytes, but the drive only
    handles 250609664
    <5>hdf: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384 bytes, but the drive only
    handles 250609664
    <6> hdf: hdf4
    <3>ide-floppy: hdf: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 2, asc = 4, ascq = 0
    <6> hdf:<3>ide-floppy: hdf: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 2, asc = 4, ascq = 0
    <3>Buffer I/O error on device hdf, logical block 0
    <4> unable to read partition table
    <3>ide-floppy: hdf: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 4, ascq = 0
    <3>hdf: No disk in drive

    What do I need to change to get 9.1 to properly mount my internal zip 250?
