Hello, I just installed FreeBSD/Alpha on AlphaServer 400 4/233 and it works great! I love it!. But I have a small problem that my DDS2 tape backup doesn't work. I look in /var/dmesg.today and found out that my tape device is sa0: sa0 at ncr0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 sa0: <DEC TLZ09 (C)DEC 0167> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8) but when I use mt -f /dev/sa0 status it tells me that the device is not configure. So, I did this: # ./MAKEDEV sa0 and it's still gave me the same error. When I look futher in the log file I saw this error message: (sa0:ncr0:0:5:0): Medium not present (sa0:ncr0:0:5:0): REWIND. CDB: 1 0 0 0 0 0 (sa0:ncr0:0:5:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 (sa0:ncr0:0:5:0): Medium not present This error occur everytime when I run /stand/sysinstall command. So, how can I fix this ploblem? I want to be able to backup my system specially when I just finish setting up my intranet secure webserver on it. =) Thank ou for the help! TIA pe' ------------------------------ UNIX System Admin.
