You *could* do it, although I couldn't be bothered setting it up from
scratch. However you'd need to initially boot from your floppy drive
to load the scsi drivers (esp. the ZIP), reassign all the basic
assignments to zip:s, zip:c etc, then pass control from the
s:startup-sequence on the floppy to an equivalent on zip:s.

But as for booting *directly* from zip:, nah. Can't be done. I bet you
a bottle of Gisborne Gold...
