I am trying to bring up an Archive QIC-02 tape drive on 300H/IRQ5 as is in the generic current 3.0 kernel. The drive is polled on boot, but it is not found after boot. Mt asks for another device and errors out that it is not configured (nsomethingorother device). Tar won't directly access it. I tried remaking the device wt0 from ``sh MAKEDEV wt0'', but that did not help either. The manpages from mt seem to be corrupted. I would have thought an ``mt -f /dev/wt0 retension'' should have spun it up correctly. The MAKEDEV wt0 did not apparently make a device in /dev. Sysinstall seems to find it correctly, but I need to get it up to tar off a set of tapes for a new install. Any suggestions are appreciated as to what to twiddle to get it working as a usable tarring device. Thanks.... almost there..... Bob Keys rdkeys@seedlab1.cropsci.ncsu.edu
