Hmm, here is my target config, compare.

# SCSI stuff for vpo
#
controller      scbus0

options         SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETRY

device          da0
device          pass0   #CAM passthrough driver

#
# Parallel-Port Bus
#
# Parallel port bus support is provided by the `ppbus' device.
# Multiple devices may be attached to the parallel port, devices
# are automatically probed and attached when found.
#
# Supported devices:
# vpo   Iomega Zip Drive
#       Requires SCSI disk support ('scbus' and 'sd'), best
#       performance is achieved with ports in EPP 1.9 mode.
# nlpt  Parallel Printer
# ppi   General-purpose I/O ("Geek Port")
#
# Supported interfaces:
# ppc   ISA-bus parallel port interfaces.  
#
controller      ppbus0
controller      vpo0    at ppbus?

device          nlpt0   at ppbus?
device          ppi0    at ppbus?
device          plip0   at ppbus?

controller      ppc0    at isa? port 0x278 tty irq 7 vector ppcintr
