Yes, there is.
Check where the drive is (probably using dmesg).
Then mount it according the file system it used (ufs, MSDOS, etc).
By the way the MSDOS is slow.
If you use ufs put this in your /etc/disktab

# on new disk use: (assumed that the zip drive is sd2)
#% disklabel -r -w -B sd2 zip
#% newfs /dev/rsd2a

Just ignored the warning message on newfs command.
Others suggest to used od driver.
Check the old posted mail. (on FreeBSD homepage or www.dejanews.com, etc).
good luck.
