I believe the file you're looking for is OAKCDROM.SYS,
loaded via config.sys. It's contained inside EBD.CAB
and EXTRACTed when you create an Emergency Boot Disk
or manually. It is a traditional DOS ATAPI CDROM driver.

I don't know about the ZIP, but most of IOMEGA's software
is download-able from them, I believe. You may need a
special driver for ZIP under DOS. It may be too new to be
recognized natively.

The Windows boot CD must boot to DOS first, then, to finish the
installation, it reboots to a minimal OS install on the HD, IIRC.

Once Win9x is running, there is a detect hardware wizard
which installs the Windows 9x drivers. You can activate it
yourself from the windows control panel via "Install New Hardware",
however you may have to delete any existing instances
of the same first, via Control Panel -->System --> Device Manager.

[Sorry, but my knowledge of Windows is limited to wife's
W98SE machine & laptop.]
