I'm trying to back up FreeBSD to an Archive Viper 2525 tape drive.
It's identified when the system boots as
(aid0:3:0): "ARCHIVE VIPER 2525 25462 -007" type 1 removable SCSI 1
and then as (I think)
st0 (aic0:3:0): Sequential Access density code 0x0, drive empty
(even though there's a tape in the drive)

I tried /sbin/dump 0uf /dev/st0 /

but it quit after about 30 seconds saying the tape was full.  Actually the 
tape should have enough sapce for the entire FreeBSD slice.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
