You need to enable all of the above options (as far as i know.. someone
correct me if i am wrong), make sure the drive is turned on when you boot.
Look for dmesgs that the IOmega drive was detected, and then try these:

For a DOS Zip:
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s4 /mnt/zip

If it was already a BSD filesystem (see FAQ for instructions on setting
this up.. it's beyond the scope of this answer):

mount /dev/da0 /mnt/zip

At least this is what worked for me.  You results may differ  ;^)
