OK, I'll dive in    8)

I don't have any problems dumping *to* my Sony SDT-5000 (4-8GB), just 
getting that warm, fuzzy feeling that I can get it *back*.  This 
particular box is up at work, trying to act as a dumphost for a bunch of 
Suns.  Hardware:
    
    Intel 486sx33
    8MB RAM
    Adaptec 1542CF
    an ugly old Rodime RO3259T      (howls of derisive laughter)
    DTC 2280                        (I/O only, floppy and IDE disabled)
    Trident 9440 VLB running on mono VGA    (just shell accounts here)

I could swear this was working on my DX2/80 at home, but I'm going to 
check tonight.  

First the verbose output of the boot sequence:

Next, the status of the tape -- I'd done 'mt -f /dev/st0ctl.0 density 
0x13' beforehand (probably overkill):

# mt -f /dev/rst0.0 status
Present Mode:   Density = X3B5/88-185A Blocksize variable
---------available modes---------
Mode 0:         Density = X3B5/88-185A Blocksize variable
Mode 1:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable
Mode 2:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable
Mode 3:         Density = 0x00         Blocksize variable

Next the dump (just the root):

# dump 0udsbf 61000 10240 126 /dev/rst0.0 /dev/rsd0a
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Mar 19 17:37:11 1996
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0a (/) to /dev/rst0.0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 13568 tape blocks on 0.00 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: DUMP: 13866 tape blocks on 1 volumes(s)
  DUMP: Closing /dev/rst0.0
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE

Finally, the punchline, when I try to just see the TOC:

# restore tvf /dev/rst0
st0: 65536-byte record too big
tape read error: input/output error
Mar 19 17:31:49 dumphost /kernel: st0: 65536-byte record too big
Mar 19 17:31:49 dumphost /kernel: st0: 65536-byte record too big

It's worth mentioning that even 'dump 0bf /dev/rst0.0 /dev/rsd0a' gives 
the same results (just uses more tape).  Is variable blocksize the 
problem, something about the Adaptec (I've got NCR at home, and a 
reconfig'd kernel), or something I need to do through scsi(8) first?

All suggestions welcome, private or otherwise.

best regards,
larry
