>Description:
The Parallel Port Zip Drive question in the FAQ, while strictly accuarate,
could do with updating to reflect the current situation, and also to be
a little more detailed about how to enable Parallel Drive support in the
kernel.

I've never written anything for the docproj before, so could you please
check the sgml in my diff. The FAQ doesn't seem to be in Docbook yet.
Thanks!
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at the FAQ. Duh! :)

<       <p>FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE contains support for the parallel Zip
<       However, you will need to build a new kernel with
<       support for ppbus (Parallel Port Bus) in order to use the Zip.  See
<       the LINT configuration file for examples.

>       <p>FreeBSD has contained support for Parallel Port Zip Drives since
>       version 3.0. If you are using a sufficently up to date version, then
>       you should check that your kernel contains the <tt>scbus0</tt>, <tt>da0
>       </tt>, <tt>ppbus0</tt>, and <tt>vp0</tt> drivers (The GENERIC kernel 
>       contains everything except vp0). With all these drivers present, the 
>       Parallel Port drive should be available as /dev/da0s4. Hence, disks can 
>       be mounted using <tt>mount /dev/da0s4 /mnt </tt>OR (for dos disks) <tt>
>       mount_msdos /dev/da0s4 /mnt</tt>
