Hi, I recently cvsupped and updated my 3.5-STABLE box to 4.2_STABLE. I had quite a few problems initially when doing buildworld but a good samaritan came to my rescue and sent me precise details that had worked for one of 'us'. At the moment I seem to be in a bad fix because I cannot access my tape drive, an HP T20. What I mean is that mt returns an error /dev/nsa0: device not configured. I posted this to the -quetsions and I got overwhelming response but all the suggestions I received did not yield the solution I was looking for. So please pardon me if this is considered a double post. I am only anxious for a solution. Without a backup, we all know where I stand - on the firing line. I am running an HP Netserver E20 and here is a section of my dmesg.boot: ## [snip] ahc0: <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0xfc100000-0xfc100fff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0 ahc0: Using left over BIOS settings aic7895C: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x1400-0x14ff mem 0xfc101000-0xfc101fff irq 10 at device 5.1 on pci0 ahc1: Host Adapter Bios disabled.
