problem is to create the zip disk bootable.  Never tried this, would be
COMPLETELY BIOS dependant, and I know of no sure-fire way to make it work.

But the process would be the same.  Install a bootloader on the zip disk,
either install a bsd system, or copy the bootonly directories and files to
the zip disk...  then the zip would act as a bootonly cd...

I've been shipped, by Iomega, a 750MB zip drive in wrong exchange by Iomega
of a 2TB USB drive.  I'm a little torqued.
