I was trying to do a backup to tape. From the bootup message I thought the tape was /dev/st0. I tried creating a tar file to this file and it filled my root partition instead. I quickly deleted the file, but ever since the partition behaved strange. First it deleted my Os/2 boot manager and was booting with a hostname = "amnesiac". I tried running "fsck". After I re-installed the os/2 boot manager now FreeBSD says there is no kernel to boot. What is the name of a SCSI tape drive? Does the controller matter? It is connected to an adaptect 2940.
