Your fstab file should contain:

/dev/hdc	/cdrom	iso9660	ro,user,noauto		0 0

for the cdrom drive. Make sure that:
-You dont have ide-scsi active (in lilo.conf: append=" hdc=ide-scsi")
- /cdrom is an existing directory
-There's a cdrom in the drive :=)


/dev/hdb4	/zip	auto	rw,user,noauto		0 0

for the zip drive. Make sure that:
-You dont have ide-scsi active (in lilo.conf: append=" hdd=ide-scsi")
- /zip is an existing directory
-There's a filesystem on the zip disk.


Note that your mount points (/cdrom, /zip) might be different.
Zip disks are usually partitioned (don't know why) so that there is one 
partition (number 4) with all space assigned.

Any output from command would help.
