Some days, you just *shouldn't* come in to work...
Please disregard this entire thread :)
(Just remembered that this drive was pulled from a multiple
drive box - it was set as drive number 4!!! Like I said: I'm
an idiot!)
Thanks Anyway...

BTW: As an old SVR3/4 admin, I'm finding myself frustrated with
the minor syntactical changes between the two flavors. For example,
RESTORE is on both systems, but the switches are different. Has
anyone ever posted a syntactical comparison? iF so, I could
*really* use it, and if not, I may do it...
-----------------------------------------------------------
OK, so I'm an idiot... How I ended up trying rft0 I'll *never*
know, but...
Anyway, since (as you know from my address mapping post) this box has
a "wt" drive, I tried that with different results.
# dump -0af /dev/rwt0 /var
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed May 6 14:51:54 1998
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd0s1e (/var) to /dev/rwt0
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 552 tape blocks.
(at this point the drive seeks, prolly to BOT)
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/rwt0".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") n
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

I have tried the *all* of the rwt devices with the same results..
