Hi,
First check in Yast Hardware info to find what designation your zip has.
You might need to have a zip in the drive wheny ou do it. I had to
reboort with a disk in for it to be  detected. Better to know what it is
on your system than waste time etc guessing.If its a fat partition or
one pre partitioned by iomega then it will need to be the fourth
partition hence the 4. I have found that 9.2 does not like them but is
very happy for you to reformat to ext2 and then cooperates completely.
