Try /dev/hdc4 and make sure you have a directory called "iomega" in your mnt
directory.
AFWIW, I can't get auto to work on mine either.. wish it did!
Hope this helps..

Subject: Zip Drive - the endless question
I cannot mount my internal Iomega ZIP drive under Linux Redhat 6.0.
When I look under dmesg I see that the Linux sees the drive and assigned
hdd to it. I have reviewed the howto and see nothing there that I haven't
already done. I've searched deja.com and tried everything I can find
there. I've added an entry to fstab (via linuxconf), I've referenced it
both as hdd and then after reading some posts, I changed it to hdd4.
I've tried every permutation of mount I can think of. Some I've tried
include:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd /mnt/iomega
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
mount -t msdos /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
mount -t auto /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega (This one gave a different error,
saying that I needed to declare the file type first. It didn't like
auto, even though many many posts indicated this was a solution.)
mount /mnt/iomega (assuming that this command would reference fstab and
mount as defined therein.)
For all of the above, except the noted exception, I get the following
error message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4,
or too many mounted file systems
Judging from the number of posts on usenet, this is a very common problem.
MY QUESTION - How the heck do I fix this? If any of you Linux gurus have
tried the above things and still failed, what was the eventual solution?
BTW - I'm having the same trouble mounting my floppy. My cdrom, my linux
partition on the hard drive, and my separate windows partition on the hard
drive all mount just fine.
Any help is appreciated.
