I'm trying to backup to tape, but everything I try I get device not
configured.

tar -c /home/joe
tar: /dev/sa0: Cannot open: Device not configured

mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
mt: /dev/sa0: Device not configured

The device is on and loaded with tapes. Below is the output that is in
the messages log when the server boots, so I'm assuming the server sees
the tape drive alright. Any help is appreciated.
