I installed a IDE tape drive, it comes up in dmesg
ast0: TAPE <Seagate STT20000A> at ata0-slave using PIO4
But I cant backup anything onto it
doing "tar -cvf /dev/ast0 /etc" just makes it create a tar file in /dev and
not backup to tape
Doing "MAKEDEV all" doesn't create the device either
Can some one help?
