Description of problem:
My parallel Zip drive was not detected at installation and does not
appear in /dev.

Manually adding modprobe ppa to /etc/rc.d/rc.local has enabled the
drive to be detected:

However all configuration including adding /media mount points and
/etc/fstab entries has been manual.

Parallel port drives aren't automatically detectable.
