You'll need to load the modules you want them to run under first. I'm
not sure how the zip drive should be accessed, but I know that with my
setup, I have my dvdrom drive under ide-cd. I made a file in
/etc/modutils called 'cdmedia' with the following:

    options ide-cd ignore=hda
    pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi 
    pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi 
    pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd 

where hda is my dvdrom drive. This way it gets mapped to ide-cd before
ide-scsi can take over.

ide-scsi used to have a similar ignore option, but I haven't had luck
using it.
