Unable to mount /media/zip as regular user

[Ed Landaveri]

Gentlemen, ladies:
I'm unable to mount my zip drive as a regular user:
[ed at mybox ~]$ mount /media/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdb4 does not exist

If I reboot with zip disk inside the drive /dev/hdb4
gets created:
[root at mybox ~]# stat /dev/hdb4
  File: `/dev/hdb4'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block:
4096   block special file
Device: dh/13d  Inode: 42416       Links: 1     Device
type: 3,44
Access: (0640/brw-r-----)  Uid: (    0/    root)  
Gid: (    6/    disk)
Access: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.047370144 -0800
Modify: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.047370144 -0800
Change: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.000000000 -0800

Then still doesn't let me mount as myself (regular
user) I got the same message as above. Even as root:
[root at mybox ~]# mount /media/zip
mount: /dev/hdb4: can't read superblock
[root at mybox ~]# mount /media/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdb4 does not exist

Even when the /dev/hdb4 HAS been created as shown
above.  I need to be very specific:
[root at mybox ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /media/zip
to mount it to be able to see its contents
[root at mybox ~]# ls /media/zip/
bla, bla, --omitted--

What can I do to be able to mount it as a regular
user? 
Any help will be really appreciate it. Thanks
Eddie
