Hi,

I am running freebsd 3.0. I have a Seagate STT8000N scsi tape backup unit.

In reading the Complete Freebsd book and other sources it says that the first 
scsi tape should be /dev/nrst0.

If I do ls -l that device it says it is not found.

What I can find is /dev/nrsa0 and this seems to work when I use tar to archive 
files to the tape drive.

Is this alright or should I have the /dev/nrst0 as a device.

When i use linux and BRU I am pretty sure the devie is /dev/nrsta.

Thanks Alot

Rick
