Hi -
	I've installed a Seagate 224000N (Scorpion) tape drive in my
freebsd box (3.2-19990615-STABLE).

dmesg reports:

sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 04106-XXX 735B> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)

(There is a dip switch that can be set to change the identity string to
"SEAGATE DAT   ")

The tape drive is not at the end of the chain so no scsi termination set.
The manual says that for certain unix flavors to set dip switches 9 and 10
to either on or off (FreeBSD is not listed).  They are currently both off.

All the devices are there:

root@anw:~% ls /dev/*sa*
/dev/ersa0      /dev/ersa0.2    /dev/nrsa0.0    /dev/nrsa0.3
/dev/rsa0.1     /dev/rsa0.ctl
/dev/ersa0.0    /dev/ersa0.3    /dev/nrsa0.1    /dev/rsa0
/dev/rsa0.2
/dev/ersa0.1    /dev/nrsa0      /dev/nrsa0.2    /dev/rsa0.0
/dev/rsa0.3


root@anw:~% mt status
mt: /dev/nrsa0: Input/output error


And in the logs I get:

(sa0:ahc0:0:1:0): RESERVE(06). CDB: 16 0 0 0 0 0 
(sa0:ahc0:0:1:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc:44,90


What am I missing?

Also - what are the *.[123] device entries?

Thanks!
