Gregoire,

I'm working (right this minute) on devfs support for ide-floppy

but... your problem doesn't look like an ide-floppy/devfs problem.

On my system, the output from fdisk on a zip 250 looks like

[root@zoltar ide]# fdisk /dev/hdf

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hdf: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 239 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdf4 * 1 239 244720 6 FAT16

so your hdc is a hard disk, not a zip.

Try changing your fstab to point to ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
instead of /dev/hdc
