I have noticed that on a scsi system (one HDD + IDE DVD) with a USB ZIP
drive connected, the HDD is set to sdb rather than sda!

The ZIP was set to sba4 - no other sba's seen.

I was surprised that the device was seen as a scsi device (sd?) and that it
had priority over the fixed disks. I haven't used USB on LINUX before.

Apart from obviously disconnecting the ZIP, is it possible to override the
drive designations during installation?
