A mailing list member led me to a remedy for this problem. He suggested I add
lines to /etc/udev/links.conf to make the two special devices hdb and hdb4. The
lines I added were
M hdb b 3 64
M hdb4 b 3 67
These create the special device files on boot and I am now able to mount and use
the zip disk.
However, I think something in the initial install/configuration should have
caused these files to exist without this addition to links.conf.
