if the filesystem is supported:
mount /dev/DEVICE /mountpoint
sample:
mkdir /mnt/disk2
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/disk2
if you get an error saying about the filesystem type, then the
filesystem is not supported by your kernel, email the list again
and include fdisk -l /dev/hda output (or whatever disk your trying
to mount, be sure to fdisk -l on the DISK not the partition)

the man page for mount has a lot of info on mounting filesystems,
also check the manpage on fstab as well to mount filesystems on boot.

be sure there is a disk in the drive when mounting, the floppy device
is /dev/fd0 by default, the Zip ide, depends, run a fdisk -l /dev/hdX
where X is the device that has your zip disk, I can't remember ever
using a zip disk but at least in the case of JAZ disks you could
partition them, maybe you need to specify a partition when mounting
the zip ?
