Help,

I cannot figure out how to make my zip drive available to boot from. I
would like to be able to keep a copy of my Workbench on a Zip Disk,
obviously called WorkBench, and be able to stick it in the Zip Drive, then
switch on and boot from the zip.

It is connected through a SurfSquirrel. I would like to be able to do this
in case I encounter problems with my Hard Drive so I would be able to get
my workbench up and running without the hard drive being required.
