...because you don't have /zip in fstab. if the configuration line is:
/dev/sda1 /zip ext2 noauto,user 0 0
you can mount it to /zip. Now its that defined /mnt/zip

Meaning that /dev/sda1 isn't hard-disk/zip-disk etc. compatible block
readable device. There is no disk at all or something like that.
There is something wrong in your device-configurations.
/dev/sda1 is the first partition on the first SCSI-disk.
/dev/sda4 is the fourth partition on that same disk.
/dev/sdd1 is the first partition on the fourth SCSI-disk. And so on...
It seems you are trying to use SCSI-zip. How is your SCSI-configuration?
Quote scsi bus-information from /proc/scsi, and we can see lots of more
about it.
