>Description:
	"mt -f /dev/nrst0 st" fails with the message:

	mt: unknown tape drive type (7)

	If I do this with /dev/erst0, it takes the drive off line and
	spits out the tape.  /dev/enrst0 behaves identically to /dev/nrst0.

	If I do the mt stat command on a drive which is offline, it
	reports:
	/dev/nrst0: Device busy

	Something is seriously broken here.

>How-To-Repeat:
	mt -f $TAPE st;
	[ For TAPE in the set (/dev/{e,}{n,}{r,}st0 ]
