Been trying to get an Exabyte Tape drive (SCSI) working all day
with no luck - thought scsi tape devices were simple to setup
with FreeBSD?  I have a 2940W - every thing else (HD's,CD) works
okay?

Tried:
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV st0

If I type 'mt rewind' below are the messages I get.  Looks as though
somethings not exactly right?!  The Exabyte was terminated and I
thought this might be the problem and took the terminators (3)
out and the same symptoms.

I pretty much need to reboot at this point.  

Anyone see what's wrong?
