I've never used any form of autoloader with FreeBSD, but I've had good luck getting obscure tape drives to work. When you add the 'st' driver to your system and try to issue commands like 'mt erase' what happens? Does FreeBSD detect the drive correctly at startup? You're posting in the wrong group, by the way. freebsd-questions is where you should direct inquiries like this. Murray Stokely
