jaZip should read them whether they have partition /dev/sda1 or
/dev/sda4 if you can mount them manually already (meaning you
have proper kernel support).  Please try `/usr/sbin/jazipconfig'
to create your /etc/jazip.conf and report any bugs.  The format
is simple:

# Configuration file for jaZip
#
# Raw Device         Mount Point                  Read but ignored
  /dev/sda              /zip                      auto    auto        0 0
