I'm currently running FreeBSD 3.4 and finally got around to
installing a tape drive (hey, backups are good, so I'm
told... :-) I opted for installing flexbackup since I don't
need to swat gnats with sledgehammers (i.e. Amanda is too
heavy weight.)

The problem I'm running into with the 3.4 kernel is that
it keeps complaining:

(sa0:ncr0:0:3:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE...

So I go off and 'mt offline', reinsert the tape, do a
'flexbackup -newtape', only to repeat the cycle.

What have I overlooked?
